Insurance Fairness for Amputees: Where am I?

Where am I?

I took some time off around Christmas. During that time I had a chance to reflect on this blog. Yeah sure, it's all about the fight for prosthetic parity, but somehow, I was getting lost in the whole thing. First, I hate writing about my personal battle (boring!), second, I've lost my sense of humor and finally, staying angry and upset and fighting is draining. That doesn't mean I'm through fighting, I'm just going to do it with a sense of humor.

I'll be back after the first of the year. Stay tuned,

Bitter is too easy; I've done it a lot. Humor is not only more of a challenge (and fun), it's a subtle way to insult your targets! Not that I'm so heavily into insults or anything... ;)

Quote of the Moment

Jeffrey Cain, MD, is a bilateral lower-limb amputee and a member of the Amputee Coalition’s Board of Directors and Medical Advisory Committee. Dr. Cain is an excellent example of how prosthetic devices can help amputees function in their daily lives and contribute to society rather than become dependent on it.

“Being able to have prosthetic devices means that I can take care of my patients and teach medical students,” said Dr. Cain.

Unfortunately, working people with employer-provided health insurance plans are often the ones with the biggest problems, Dr. Cain noted. “Because employer-provided insurance plans are increasingly introducing unreasonable limits and caps, if you have a job in America – if you are a hardworking member of society – you can’t afford a leg to stand on. It’s gotten that bad.”
