Comment from a reader on US Health Care reform:
The recently released language of the House version of the U.S. health care reform legislation does not exempt U.S. citizens living abroad from the mandate that all U.S. citizens pay for health insurance (Medicare, if eligible), although U.S. citizens living abroad are not eligible to participate in Medicare. and no allowance is made in the House bill for coverage of medical care obtained abroad by U.S. citizens living abroad.
The only mention of U.S. Citizens and Residents living abroad is in the section imposing a tax Surcharge on High Income Individuals. Failure to pay for Medicare or the new health insurance would result in penalties being added to the U.S. income tax bill of U.S. citizens. Anybody got any pull in Washington D.C.?
