      US Medicare is built for coverage in the US only, while Medicare will offer very limited coverage when outside of the US, the benefits are drastically lowered and limits are applied to make the coverage impractical to be fully secure and there is only a limited time frame you can be outside of the US. If you plan on living permanently in China or elsewhere outside of the US its best to look at a plan that offers the same type of coverage and benefits but with a international provider that will be more hassle free all around and come without restrictions.
