Obamacare may require U.S. citizens living abroad to purchase U.S. qualified health insurance

At Vacant Home Insurance Now, of course we specialize in vacant homeowners insurance but since we deal with many Americans living abroad that need to insure their unoccupied house in the United States, this may be relevant to all of our overseas clients.

As it stands now, it looks like the new healthcare insurance legislation would require Americans that live overseas to buy qualified health insurance, even if they don't need it. This is what we are hearing and I am sure the bill could be changed over time but this is something people living abroad need to be aware of.

Many Americans living overseas have taken out local insurance policies in the country where they reside and some even participate in the National Health Insurance System of their host country. Many do not want to be forced to buy U.S. qualified healthcare.
