comes with cuts to the entire medicaid program that will further reduce the already few places that will treat medicaid recipients (exacerbating an already growing problem for places that can not perform for imbursement rates that are not enough to run a clinic on.)

Also although not specifically mentioned as caps the original version of this law covers that in other ways "guaranteed eligibility, availability, and renewability of health insurance coverage; (2) nondiscrimination based on health status;" and under the plans original draft, those that did not qualify for medicaid would get vouchers for the private plans instead.

Other than the lifetime cap which is dealt with in other ways, it is exactly what the Heritage Foundation proposed, which you appear to think is brilliant. Considering how much the Obama version of the Heritage bill changed, we likely could have gotten cap language with a threatened filibuster if any Democrats were stupid enough to adopt a right wing plan back then. We love Republican Ideas now that we knew were bad before.

Imagine that, old eighties and nineties Republicans didn't disappear, they simply invaded our party and brought their ideas with them it would seem.
