Obama care
 
Hi all. My wife has been out of the U.S.A. for 4 years, but she is an American citizen. Will she be eligible for Obama care when she returns to Florida this year?

Well yes if she buys a policy. It's not like the NHS.

Immigration into the US (or even moving between states) is a qualifying event to make use of the healthcare market place outside of open enrollment periods.

Thanks for the replies! Completely off topic, would anyone happen to know how we go about getting mobile phone contracts in the U.S.A?!

In addition to what I wrote above, I wanted to clarify a point. Assuming you arrive on a valid immigrant visa, then you will be eligible to use the marketplace too.

Walk into a phone store and buy one?

I'd also be interested to know if I'll be eligible for Obama care. I'll be entering the country on a spouse visa with permanent residency, as we have been married over 2 years.
