It could also be used (though this is a bit of a slippery slope) for a fugitive to escape with only a small chance of retribution.
Good proposal, but the law and order stuff scares me into voting no

I'm glad somebody else sees this. Our mighty nation doesn't allow emigration for economic reasons. If our citizens leave to find foreign healthcare, that alone could be used as an excuse to flee the country, which could be devastating to our economy. Not to mention they won't be spending their money on our healthcare and instead will be spending it in other countries, taking it out of our economy! This resolution should not be allowed to pass, as it puts some WA members in far too much economic risk.

"Ambassador, the point is that your nation is legally obligated by virtue of its World Assembly membership to allow your citizens to leave the country under most circumstances. Failure to comply will result in massive economic sanctions executed by the entire membership upon your now isolated and impotent country."
"That said, the proposal at vote is flawed in other ways, and we vote against."

There are two main problems at hand. First, as other nations noted, this resolution's loose use of "medically necessary" treatment opens the door for member states to tolerate its citizens fleeing abroad to use alternative medicine or other dangerous treatments. In our status quo, it is up to member states to determine their own policies on allowing or restricting travel for this type of reason. However, this resolution openly endorses such a travel option so long as it fits its vague, undefined idea of medical necessity.
Secondly, by allowing people to travel abroad for care, this hurts national healthcare systems that rely on individuals spending money for care at home. Member states that need an uncompetitive medical market to sustain their national healthcare systems will no doubt suffer under this resolution. If the rich and powerful seek treatment, let them seek treatment at home or under conditions set by their home state so as to benefit their fellow citizens. Enjuku cannot endorse proposals that benefit the few over the many.
For these two reasons, we have major qualms with this resolution and must withhold our support. We hope that in the future we can find better ways to solve the difficulties of acquiring adequate medical care. This resolution is not one of those ways.
