I didn't have any insurance before going to Japan, and I didn't keep any US insurance while there... there's no reason to do that. At most you'll be in the US only a few weeks out of the year anyway.
So that's how it works. Thanks a lot. Now how does Income Tax work? I still don't understand that much.
