Affordable Care Act / Obamacare requirements for travelers?
Does anyone know what the requirements are for us 'Muricans if we spend a great deal of time traveling and living outside of the US? Do we still have to purchase a plan even though there is no way we could ever use it while overseas?
People who live 330 days or more per year outside the US would we exempty from purchasing healthcare. People who reside and pay income taxes in another country can be exempt.
But what about transients like us going from country to country?
We may come back to the US for a month, spend 5 months traveling abroad, come back again for a couple weeks, then go back to traveling.
I'm OK purchasing short term 1-month health coverage for my trips back to the US, but I certainly don't want to be forced to enroll in a domestic 6 month policy on the healthcare marketplaces if I'm only going to be in the country for 1 month out of that 6 and buying separate international travel health insurance for the other 5 months...
