    And having a prosthetic limb is important for physical health anyways. Helps you be more active, massively increases productivity (that’s what capitalists want right?), decreases wheelchair/caregiver costs, etc.

    It’s simply an all around win.

      Excellent points. The increased physical activity part would also save these idiot insurance companies money, but they would have to think beyond the next quarter.
