That, plus I have Medicare. But, as I think boiler and durham_lad detail in some posts (above), there’s a lot of government agencies in both countries who have an interest in claiming you are or are not a resident - depending on whether you are potentially a source of income, or a recipient of services. I’ve always assumed I’m a resident of both countries, since 2015, and no government agency in either country has concerned themselves with challenging that.

Think I had a post go missing.
Anyway he is certainly claiming to be resident in the US, and Travel Insurance in the UK is not sold to those resident in other countries. There may be some wiggle room on some but they to my knowledge all require you to be eligible for the NHS, which brings back to ordinary resident.

Thread seems doomed to frustration absent the OP clarifying a number of the issues already raised. Honestly, if it were me, I'd stay "clean" and get an ACA policy.

His problem is that nobody seems to want to sell him Insurance probably without even mentioning his US Permanent Resiidency status.
I sort of assumed this was likely to go nowhere.
