Welcome to the forum.  Medical insurance for over 65 is hard to get, expensive and sometimes has lots of exclusions.
Planner will be along I am sure with some advice as she works with various insurance companies and will be able to give you some info.

If you are only going to be here for less than 90 days and you have supplemental Medicare coverage (like United with AARP) you can get a travel rider that will cover you here.
