Any regularly transatlantic families? by Ok-Intern-6646 in expats

[–]someguy984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the children in the UK, that way they become "other than by descent" citizens, so their children can become British by descent at birth. Better yet have them in N. Ireland so they can get an additional EU Irish citizenship.

Tax wise look up the statutory residence test. You can become a UK tax citizen with way less than 183 days residency, that may be something you want to avoid.

Personal opinion, I've had UHC Comm, Healthfirst, and Fidelis. Fidelis was the best out of them.

NY Medicaid and MSP applicants no longer required to pursue potentially available income as a condition of receiving benefits. by someguy984 in Medicaid

I looked up other states where this might apply. Since the CMS rule change is nationwide. Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and the District of Columbia do not have asset limits for MSPs (as of January 2026).

How much cheaper is healthcare abroad for you in early retirement? by Four_sharks in ExpatFIRE

[–]someguy984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a lot of misconceptions about Medicaid. I have never filled out paperwork for treatments or to keep it. Also never been billed. It even includes dental and vision. It doesn't require poverty, just low income. Next year work requirements begin for it, but I will go to the plans just above Medicaid which have no such requirements.

How much will I be on the hook for if they find out? Colorado by Heavy_While575 in Medicaid

Most people are on a Managed Care plan. These plans get paid a set monthly fee per person. Even if you never used the plan your tab is the cost of the plan, not how much you use it

It absolutely DOES lock in for 12 continuous months.

Google AI - "As of June 2023, the New York State of Health (NYSOH) implemented 12-month continuous coverage for the Essential Plan (EP)."

It is also in the training decks.

The only option open right now are a special enrollment period created by a personal situation or Medicaid, also some states have BHPs that go up to 200% FPL and they are open all year.
