Prior to the Affordable Care Act, this guy likely would have been on the hook for any bills over $1 million out of his own pocket.
The ACA (Obamacare) codified into law that insurance companies may not impose lifetime limits on essential care.
So, as recently as about 10 years ago, Americans were paying obscene monthly health insurance premiums for policies that max out at $1 million over a LIFETIME. One major health issue and you're shit out of luck.
Rethuglicans want to take us back there. Virtually every GOP budget or fiscal plan over the last decade has included repeal of the ACA and deep cuts to Medicaid.
