Wow, didn’t know that kind of “max cost” cutoff existed. I thought the whole point of insurance was “I’ll probably be fine but if things really go south, good thing I have insurance.”
The ACA banned lifetime caps.
Thanks Obama!
yes you have to go to india on medical visa after that
One of the underappreciated accomplishments of Obamacare was the end of those 1m caps. One of the ongoing failures in health care policy is out of control drug costs.
