Pass Insurance Fairness for Amputees.
There are currently 2 million amputees in the U.S.. There will be another 185,000 people added to their ranks every year. Without Insurance Fairness these citizens are left to deal with inferior prosthetic limbs that only allow them to ambulate. With the correct prosthetic devices these people will be able to return to their lives prior to their amputation. In turn, returning to being productive members of society. With the current system, insurance companies lump prosthetic limbs into the same category as crutches and bedside commodes. This needs to change and prosthetics need to be covered as their own category. Amputees that meet the proper rating should be able to have the prosthesis their doctor prescribes, not what a company wants to pay for.
