How can I get US health insurance for my (non US residents) parents (in late 50’s)?

This is both an Immigration question and a Health Insurance question. My parents will start living in the US several months a year or more as legal visitors to live with us until they get green cards and can move here permanently. They are close 56, 59 years old. How do I go about getting them health insurance so unexpected health concerns don’t ruin them, they can get their prescriptions filled w/o paying an arm and a leg, etc?

Are there specialized US insurance companies that offer insurance to non-residents that’s worth anything? I don’t need the gimmicky travel insurance that won’t cover anything or require outrageous deductibles and paperwork sent to some tax haven country … I need a reliable US insurer who can be found, operates under laws of US, has customer service who can explain their policies, etc.

Was in auto accident; how to get responsible insurer to act faster?

I was in an auto accident today (in NC). It was clearly the other guy’s fault. My car needs to go to body shop, and I want to get it into the shop ASAP and get a rental car ASAP so I can take a trip this weekend. The responsible insurance company is (intentionally) slow to respond. If I pick a body shop and pay for a rental before hearing from the responsible insurer, can I be confident I will get reimbursed properly? Or what can I say or do to get the insurer to act faster?
