I have a question maybe others here have thought of or maybe done. Both me and my wife are from abroad, but live in CA. We have thought about getting some family members to come and live with us at times, but I am wondering about what about healthcare costs since none of our parents are US citizens. They are all healthy for now, but that might not be for long.

Without a green card don't even think about brining them in. Wait for them to get the green card (it does not take long for parents)

Then they'll be eligible for Medicare after a year, I think. Before then its very dicey. Medicare also has decent coverage, but is super annoying to navigate.

Would travel health insurance be a possibility?

Yes but thinking more long term.
