I guess some Health Insurance CEO needs their leg shot off, see how a prosthetic limb can become a necessity.
(for legal and moderation reasons: this isn’t a joke)
Forced empathy.
Take the lawyers legs too!
Not even one month. That’s how long it took for them to resume screwing over their insurees.
The denials that the article is talking about happened before the shooting.
Also tells us how frequently we need to issue “reminders”.
*starts dialing John Wick*
America, I guess?
The article makes it sound like the insurance will no longer approve a higher end prosthetic rather than something that is not as feature-rich.
That’s not what it said. If you read through the entire article, you find statistics about how many people can’t get prosthetics at all because they aren’t considered necessary or they can’t afford the co-payment or they have to take out a loan.
But even if what you said were the focus, that would be equally messed up. The article opens with the story of a man who got his artificial leg replaced for many years and only recently did they try to reject the hardware that he needs, the hardware that his doctor prescribes… What kind of screwy bait and switch shit would that be? Your insurance company should not be deciding how you live.
