Ahh, the simplicity of HusseinCare...

If ObamaCare is upheld as constitutional, we will spend the rest of our lives trying to understand its complexities and contradictions.  We will likely all be in violation of some part of the law.

For example, ObamaCare's complexity has created confusion surrounding lifetime limits on benefits coverage. Under ObamaCare, insurance plans cannot include lifetime limits on coverage — or can they?  Maybe yes, maybe no.

The lifetime coverage mandate applies to any individual covered by an insurance plan or a self-insured contract providing group or individual health coverage.  It is effective for plan years beginning on or after September 23, 2010.  For most plans, this date is likely to be January 1, 2011.

Lifetime limits? Maybe no: The law mandates that group and individual health plans cannot have dollar restrictions on lifetime limits for government-defined "essential benefits."

Annual limits? Maybe yes:  Prior to January 1, 2014, plans may establish "restricted annual limits" on the dollar value of "essential health benefits."

Confusion?:  A plan using a "restricted annual limit" must ensure that there is access to needed services.  The law states, "In defining the term 'restricted annual limit' the Secretary of Health & Human Services (HHS) shall ensure that access to needed services is made available with a minimal impact on premiums."

Uncertainty?:  As of October 2010, HHS has not clarified "restricted annual limits" or established standards for determining "access to needed services."
