US Health Care Bill

No I don't because in order to vote in primaries I had to register for a party.

Ok, how about just a source?  I'd like to know more about the issue being raised and I can't find it anyplace on the web.

NYYankeesFan, can you please explain your statement about skin cancer?  I've not been able to find any information on it and am quite curious.  Thanks

Are you saying that you get all your information about political issues from literature written by political parties 

The bills specifically state that Americans living overseas will not be subject to a tax.

Just to be boringly pedantic:

HR3590, Part A, Subtitle F, Section 5000A
`(4) INDIVIDUALS RESIDING OUTSIDE UNITED STATES OR RESIDENTS OF TERRITORIES- Any applicable individual shall be treated as having minimum essential coverage for any month--
`(A) if such month occurs during any period described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of section 911(d)(1) which is applicable to the individual, or
`(B) if such individual is a bona fide resident of any possession of the United States (as determined under section 937(a)) for such month.

Internal Revenue Code:Sec. 911
  (d) Definitions and special rules
      For purposes of this section -
      (1) Qualified individual
        The term ''qualified individual'' means an individual whose tax
      home is in a foreign country and who is -
          (A) a citizen of the United States and establishes to the
        satisfaction of the Secretary that he has been a bona fide
        resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted
        period which includes an entire taxable year, or
          (B) a citizen or resident of the United States and who,
        during any period of 12 consecutive months, is present in a
        foreign country or countries during at least 330 full days in
        such period.

There are penalties for "Cadillac" plans, incomes over a certain amount, and those who file itemized deductions. I've not seen clarification if these apply regards those who meet the above requirements.

That's because I am the one who was denied treatment unless I paid OOP.  You asked for a non partisan source and I'm registered with a party.

Thanks for that. I do have a BC/BS Cadillac plan.

What were the cirumstances around which you were denied treatment?

That would mean your statement about the "special South London rule that the NHS doesn't cover Americans with pre-existing skin cancer" is based on a personal anecdote.  When this happened, did the NHS people who wanted you to pay explain the special rule or give you a pamphlet that explained why they wanted to charge you?  It would help the rest of us to know what the rule says if we ever find ourselves in a similar situation.
