I think a better title might be: I Missed the Obamacare Open-Enrollment Deadline, So I Fly to Britain for My Medication.

There are exceptions to the open-enrollment deadline. The author is not completely clear on his situation, but two exceptions may apply: gaining "status" (i.e. permission to work, or permanent residency) or moving to a new area. Either will allow you 30 days to apply through the insurance marketplace. It would be interesting to know if neither of these applied, or if even Obamacare-subsidized insurance wouldn't cover the drug he needs.

The fact that prescription drugs are more expensive in the US than anywhere else is not news to me, at least...
