has access to healthcare based on needs and not money. In this case I was referring to the evac of US citizens living in Israel. It presents security risks and complicates our geopolitical interests. If you willingly move to another country then in my opinion you are not an "active US citizen" and the US is under no obligation to protect you at that point.

I know there are pros and cons, but I think it really does complicate our interests for no reason. BTW - I do wish, of late, that I had citizenship in the UK or EU - I would be outta here because I do not see this nation as something I am very proud of these days. I know it could be short term, but I have been watching it deteriorate for the last 50 years so I don't think it will get much better.
