lifetime caps

There we were on vacation.

[side note: I just got back from a week-long hiatus] Able, for once, to actually watch news as-it-happens.

The Wife and I decided to take a break from reading various novels and making piña coladas to watch President Obama address a joint session of Congress — and the nation at large.

First off, my takeaways about the policy in the speech…

1. You can’t be dropped because of pre-existing conditions.
   
   No surprise there, but to me this is the most important reform. Also, no more yearly or lifetime caps. For catastrophic illness, this is a must.
