huffingtonpost.com — Benjamin French was born with his right arm missing below the elbow. In his 12 years, he has been fitted with 7 prostheses. His most recent replacement will cost nearly $30,000. But, according to his health insurance company, the boy is ineligible for further coverage of prosthetic devices because he has already spent his lifetime maximum benefit.

And the government which forced people to buy insurance within their state, which in essence caused this problem, is supposed to fix it now? This article seems to be arguing for a more free market policy rather than more government intervention.

Only in America, the 37th lowest country in the world in health care, would something this dispicable occur! Even in Costa Rica are things better!!! That's because of the money-sucking corporations in this country, fueled by the RePUKES and the criminally corrupt right-winged Democrats like Ben Nelson and his ilk (such as Joe LIE-Berman)!!!!!!!

That is a lot of money for arms and I think they should still cover it. But don't they re-use them? No hand me downs?
