How long in extreme situations would it take to spend a million dollars in a hospital?

A month, two weeks, one week?

Even if the limit of benefit is $1 million, you can go over that in a short amount of time.

Why do cons want to give their homes to insurance companies? I dont get it.

Who wants to bet Covid will be considered a preexisting condition not just for people who have already been diagnosed but for EVERYONE...Impossible?

If they redefine how the preexisting clause works it could include anything you have at the time of being insured, right? So you are tested when the law changes, and if you have it, no coverage? If it is up to the state, and the state is red, who knows, right? But the GOP and their voters want you to worry about that now.

I dont know how it is worded now, exactly. But each state would end up regulating it if you remove the federal law, just like with abortion.

Boy does the GOP want to fuck your life up or what ! ! ! !

Oh, and there were LIFETIME caps also, forgot about that!

Plans can put an annual dollar limit and a lifetime dollar limit on spending for health care services that are not considered essential health benefits.


Is what it is now.

if I was ever on life support. The meager house I had and my employer based life insurance would have helped them a lot. Now, one son is gone, respiratory failure due to Muscular Dystrophy and I am retired.

My opinion has not changed .I want my surviving son to use what I have left behind to give him a step up to a better life. We'll see if that holds true.

I want a better future for all the children.
