If they continue to pay for Part B, yes they should be allowed to visit the US for Medicare treatment.
No, foreign doctors/hospitals should not be forced to accept Medicare.
If someone living abroad chooses not to have Part B during that time, I think the penalty if they return to the US should be waived (provided they sign up within the enrollment window once returning) since it doesn't make sense to carry coverage you can't use where you live (especially if they lived somewhere with universal health care they paid taxes for while a resident of that country).
Absolutely. It’s an earned benefit. It’s probably even less expensive than providing the care in the US. GOVT merely wants to control people by forcing them to remain in the US.

Sure, why not? I think that Medicare is based on what you've paid into the system while working, isn't it? If you've paid in, why should it matter where you live?

Why then do we have to pay in ? I opted out - still working
