We really tried hard to get official US health insurance, but literally we were uncoverable under Obamacare. No plan is offered that satisfies the tax requirements of Obamacare and covers us. So it's a gap in coverage. We read about it a lot and several sources said from day one that this was a known gap and a category of people just being ignored right now.
The problem that we face is that we could spend a fortune for useless healthcare and not pay the tax penalty, but we'd get no coverage and we'd pay far more than the penalty is. That doesn't just waste money, but it uses up money that we would otherwise need to have saved up to deal with a medical emergency since we have to pay out of pocket for whatever we need.
Just stuck, unfortunately.
Is that because of your traveling?

Yes, it's because I travel almost continuously but visit family in the US for more than 30 or 35 days a year (we can't get below 45 realistically.) We are in the US about two weeks longer than they account for in any way. It's really because we visit the US "too much" that is the problem. If we could cut back family visits to 29 days a year, we'd be all set.

Warm, fuzzy, and "ice skating penguins" are not things I'd associate with Texas.

I've known @scottalanmiller enough to trust him with this statement... but other folks might be thinking pic or it didn't happen, lol.

I'm sure I have enough mental notes to write a manuscript from.
