[Question - Insurance] US ex-pat. I want to move back, but not sure what to do about med insurance - I developed very expensive chronic disease overseas.

I have many hurdles. I understand the visa process for my family. finding a job, etc.

My main hurdle is medical care and insurance.

I am US citizen living in Japan for 12 year. I want to come back to the USA. In Japan I have developed a serious auto immune disease (IBD/UC) that is being treated VERY well in Japan. My meds and treatment cost around $100,000 USD a year ($800 a year in Japan). In the USA they usually give you medicine A, or B, or C, or maybe D. My doc has me on A and B and C and D. It took this to get me into full remission and my condition is now 100% under control. There is no telling if its medicine A and B or A,B and D, etc. Or all 4. In the USA they would try one then the other. If they all fail they simply take out your colon.

How do I medical insurance in the USA and how do I get them to give me the same treatment I am getting now (all 4 meds) and no interruption in medicine? I have to take my meds everyday. I have to get an infusion every 8 weeks. If I miss that infusion, I can't get back on it, your body will create anitbodies and it longer works. Its bye bye colon.
