Benjamin French was born with his right arm missing below the elbow. In his 12 years, he has been fitted with seven prostheses. His most recent replacement will cost nearly $30,000 and his doctor says he will soon grow out of it.
But, according to his insurance company, the boy is ineligible for further coverage of prosthetic devices because he has already spent his lifetime maximum benefit.
Is this fair?
No this is not fair. He can't help his condition. I hate how america treats people who have serious disorders. It's as if they only care about a dollar bill. Instead, out the kindness of their covering the rest they plan to just drop him like a bad habit.
