There is no more Obamacare

This is what right wingers believe. My stepdad just told me my mom’s insurance capped and they have no more coverage. I told him that is impossible because of Obamacare. “There is no more Obamacare,” he said!

So some agent sold them a bogus policy in Texas? Or he doesn’t know what he’s talking about!

That’s how much they hate Obama. They would rather have a cap on their insurance or be denied for a preexisting condition than have anything associated with Obama.

6. I could be wrong but IIRC they can still have certain annual limits and still be ACA compliant

I think it's the lifetime caps that were totally banned.

I could be wrong though.
