Limited-benefit plans include critical-illness plans, indemnity plans (policies that only pay a pre-determined amount, regardless of total charges), and âhospital cashâ policies. These plans are not regulated by the Affordable Care Act and are not suitable to serve as a personâs only medical coverage.
The 13 original colonies that ratified the Constitution of the United States of America
The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first constitution of the United States. It was drafted by the Second Continental Congress from mid-1776 through late-1777, and ratification by all 13 states was completed in early 1781. When submitted to the states, ratification by thirteen states was required for it to become part of the Constitution; eleven had done so by early 1812. 2  However, with the addition of Louisiana into the Union that year (April 30, 1812), the ratification threshold rose to fourteen.
