    But clearly the problem here is the non-us insurance company not dealing with it until forced to nine months later

    That’s par for the course as far as insurance firms go. Most of the times you have to at least threaten them with legal action for them to do their fucking job.

    Worst case scenario- go home and never come bs k. That bill is not following you to another country

    That depends, there may be international agreements.
