Is it possible to opt out of the health coverage for a tax credit and purchase health coverage on your own? SHUM 02- that's why I'm asking because I'm not familiar with your health system. It seems prohibitly expensive to go for long periods outside the country.
Its UNIVERSAL health care. No there is no credit, you can not opt out.
If you are "young" health insurance outside the country is not that bad. DW has a rider on her company insurance and we purchase additional from CAA/AAA. Obviously the older you are or if you have existing health issues it will be more expensive.
