The last time that I had health insurance it had a $40,000 lifetime cap. This kept an Orthopedic surgeon from replacing my hip joint for 5 years. Only after I became service connected with the VA did I get a new hip joint and then only because they were overbooked and allowed me to see an outside contractor.
