people who have 500K cash to invest in a US home are on average going to be middle aged to senior citizen, a high % of them will have some pre-existing medical condition - they wouldn't be able to get health insurance would they?

You could always get a permanent residence if you invested 200k and later 500 k, this also included creating a certain number of jobs if I remember well.
