I agree the bill is unlikely to pass but it probably has a greater chance then expanding Medicare outside the USA to selected countries for expats.

The fact is expats are a forgotten bunch. The attitude in the US is if you voluntarily leave, eff you. Don't expect any help if you get in trouble, don't expect benes. There are no pols advocating for expats. Here's one example. He was finally allowed to leave after paying all the immigration fees and penalties accrued while he was in prison for 5 years. His mother begged the State Dept for years but they did not intervene. Also demonstrates the danger of filing a case against a local.
