[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, I know what my health care costs per year are: it costs me 14K / year (between insurance and copays to stay alive). 4 years ago, with the same medical conditions, my company insurance and all, it would have cost me about 4K/year. But, 4 years ago, there was a lifetime cap of 1 million. Now, I have cancer. In the last three years, insurance has paid out about 700K for medical care. Before ACA, I would know that one more relapse would put me over the top, and I would just die. [/quote] I'm so sorry PP. I hope you stay in remission. I've posted on here before that I knew a woman who died of cancer because she had reached her lifetime max, and the insurance company stopped paying for her treatment. She died penniless. Thank goodness for part of the ACA that did away with it. And for us, doing away with the pre-existing conditions for private insurance was also a god-send for my DH and I who wanted to be self employed.[/quote]
