The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) eliminated lifetime coverage limits. There are also limits of the minimum medical loss ratio.

Unlike property and life insurers, medical insurers generate very little income from investments. Premium revenue comes in at about the same rate as claims are paid out. They don't have large reserves to invest. And most large employers are self insured anyway, so the ”insurance" company just acts as a claims administrator.

The parents in the thread don't specify medical insurance. They're talking about a moral hazard in all forms of insurance.
