Plain-English Summary
The proposal would let Medicare test a program allowing seniors to receive covered medical care in other countries, rather than only in the United States. This demonstration project would help determine whether international coverage is practical and cost-effective for Medicare beneficiaries who travel abroad or live outside the U.S. The program would affect Medicare recipients and could potentially change how the health insurance program operates globally.
