Thank you for that link.......
First time I've seen the discussion about full time travel and ACA coverage have an actual answer.
Looks like 'domicile' in SD is going to be a problem on getting medical services/treatments outside SD without having to pay 100% out of pocket.
That is exactly why we canceled our plan to become South Dakota residents. We were all set to travel up there this month and then in October, got a view of their health care plans. The prices were almost double of what they are in our state and the coverage was, well, not good. We would have ended up about even between the added health care costs vs. state and local taxes here.
There are multi-state plans available outside the exchange in SD, they are just harder to get and more expensive. We have decided to wait a year and see what shakes out. According to ACA rules, all states must offer a multi-state plan by 2017.
