Foreigners and US medical care

Families coming to the US for medical care may stay here for extended periods of time. Not being allowed to work, their funds may not last the duration of treatment.

It seems a personal choice to bring an entire family to the US while a family member is treated. While it may be comforting to have all of the family together, it is not unusual to have long separations when a family member is tasked to work overseas. Ask any deployed service member. It may be less desirable, but what would prevent the husband from remaining back at home to work?
This is a “problem” that could only exist in a relative sense in the midst of plenty: money enough from charity sources to send a patient around the world for an experimental surgery, charitable concessions made by the hospitals offering these treatments. It sounds as if these families expected to have someone else provide them living expenses without having to devise a long-term strategy for self-support.
