Are we Living is the "Last Days?"
This Thanksgiving will fall on the same day as the Jewish Hannukuh celebration. This will never happen again!
But the real story are the four "Blood Moons."
Four blood (full lunar eclipse) Moons coinciding with high Jewish holidays has only occurred three times during the last 500 years:
1493- Jews were expelled from Spain while America (Freedom of Religion) had just been discovered
1949- Israel Reestablished and won war of survival
1967- Israel won the Six Day War. Jerusalem became part of modern Israel.
Now we well see this happen four times is the next two years (confirmed by NASA)!
15 April 2014 on Passover
8 Oct 2014 on Feast of Tabernacles
Then a full solar eclipse
And again in 2015:
4 April 2015 on Passover
28 Sept 2015 on Feast of Tabernacles
It appears world history is about to change in some major way...
"The day of the Lord will be as when the sun refuses to shine" Joel, chapter 2
"There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves" Luke 21:25

Avoiding ObamaCare
Avoiding ObamaCare!
Many people are dreading the 2014 implementation of the "Affordable Care Act." Not us expats.
The law states US citizens living outside the US for 330 days during any twelve month period are considered compliant to this law by doing nothing except non-residence. Also true of those living in US territories.
The rule is similar to the IRS reg that exempts our US earned income from income taxes (but not social security tax).
Your passport stamps indicate the time outside the US. One minute in the US qualifies as one day.
If you do not qualify for an exemption in 2014, the individual penalty is the greater of $95 or one percent of income for the year (maximum of 3 times individual penalty). However the penalty rises very sharply after 2014.
Additionally, major care will have to be delayed or rationed increasingly as we age. Adding 30 million people to coverage with no plan to increase MD's must reduce available care.
A recent article cited the present 90% recovery rate for US prostate cancer due to our rapid delivery of care. That compares with the 53% recovery rate under government care in England (12-18 month waiting time). Bureaucrats move slowly.
You may also consider internationalizing your medical care to obtain rapid, high quality and inexpensive care in Latin America or Asia. Come to Ecuador, Panama, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica to find many doctors trained in the US and Europe who speak English. Care in Asia may be found in Singapore, India, Taiwan, Thailand, etc.
