If you’re a US citizen you can move back get welfare or qualify for Medicaid if low income. Or get a heavily subsidized healthcare plan. All paid for with tax dollars. Not saying I agree with paying US taxes if not living there, but there are financial benefits to US citizenship. Compare this to say Canada, where you can leave, never pay taxes, then retire in Canada with free healthcare that you never paid into. It’s “privatize the gains, socialize the losses”. And to be honest, most Americans living outside the US will pay no US taxes. It’s just the filing burden that is the issue.
