Funny , but every time I research the cost of these prothsetics it boils down to Do you want something useless , painful , and miserable ? Ten grand . vs Do you want something useful , pain free , that will improve your life ? Sixty grand . Free market with peoples health is a fucked up system . Just saying . The only caveat to this is , there are a very small handful of companies who make incredibly cheap , as in within the hundred dollar mark , workable prothsetics . But , if memory serves , these are 3 d printed ones and are being fought against heavily by big manufacturers . So again , free market in health does not work . If a company with billions of dollars can just try and sue your business into destruction when you try competitive pricing it ' s a fucked up system .
