No more lifetime cap on health insurance
Posted by

For over 13 years, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation has fought to bring attention to the issue of lifetime limits and the devastating impact they have on families suffering from catastrophic injury or illness. On the six month anniversary of the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, regulations were released that ensure that these families never again have to worry that they will lose their insurance because of the high costs of their treatments.
Among these regulations is a prohibition on the use of lifetime limits in all health plans and insurance policies issued or renewed on or after September 23, 2010. In addition to lifetime limits, the regulations also phase out the use of annual dollar limits over the next three years until 2014 when the Affordable Care Act bans them for most plans.
