I guess they won't be eligible for Medicare for the initial 5 years. During this period they will need to bear the cost of their regular care. In the event they meet with a serious illness, they'll then have to move to their home country.

In order to qualify for Medicare a non-citizen has to satisfy the "qualified" status criteria. Other factors that need to be satisfied are disability, illness, age etc.
