Does an employee in Texas, under a TN visa (1 year ), with a private international health insurance, have to purchase health insurance through the insurance marketplace? Or does international medical insurance cover Obamacare requirement.

If the international insurance cover there any tax or penalty that must be paid ?

In your case , what requirement must meet an employee (TN visa for 1 year ) in Texas to meet Obamacare.

This answer is useless. The question was about private health insurance, not group health insurance.
