Fatally Ill Woman Would Have Gone Bankrupt Without Protections Of Affordable Care Act | Ross Daniels, whose wife developed rare fungal infection that left her in rehab for days and almost killed her, speaks to the Des Moines Register about “what would have happened if portions of the new federal health care law had not been in place“: “His wife’s insurance had a million dollar lifetime cap on benefits. Her current expenses have already exceeded that. One medication — a potent antifungal agent — costs $1,600 a dose. Without the protection against lifetime limits the new law provides, they would have had to declare bankruptcy.”
