I'm absolutely appalled at the costs associated with having parts of the human body replaced. I had my upper jaw removed in January of this year due to cancer and am in the process of having a prosthetic one made to help with making what ever time I still have left more comfortable. Obviously I'm having to pay to get this done and it is costing me an arm and a leg (no pun intended).
Why is it when it comes time to help out our fellow man and provide a service that could potentially make that persons life so much more enjoyable, comfortable and a contributor to society in general we charge them sooooo much damned money? I didn't ask to get cancer. If I cut out my jaw and then decided afterwards it was such a great idea I can understand being charged to get a replacement.
