Greg: See https://www.healthcare.gov/quick-guide/eligibility/ which states

"U.S. citizens living outside the U.S.

U.S. citizens living in a foreign country for at least 330 days of a 12-month period are not required to get health insurance coverage for that 12-month period. If you're uninsured and living abroad under this definition, you qualify for a health insurance exemption. This means you don’t have to pay the fee that other uninsured people must pay."

It also links to an IRS webpage for further clarification.

As Webmaster Russ would say, hope this helps.

Thanks a million Jack...sounds like what I need.....Retirement check isn't big enough to pay Obama a fine as well....

Cheers,

Greg
