The United Healthcare Prosthetic Limb
My $90,000 traditional Medicare leg.
{{ The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has proposed a rule that would prohibit lenders from repossessing medical devices such as wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs if people can’t repay their loans.}}
Interesting that prosthetic limbs are subject to repossession, but hip and knee implant replacements are not. {{LOL }}

Wouldn’t you need to actually perform surgery to repossess hip/knee implants? Versus just detach a prosthetic limb? Are they able to repossess wheelchairs?

That wouldn’t stop Private Equity.

Well, nothing seems able to stop or slow down the greatest pox on humanity! Perhaps the French had the right idea!

That “hands free crutch” looks like an accident waiting to happen. Maybe not for younger people but as people age many wouldn’t have the coordination/ balance to manage it.
{ In the near future, the company “The Union” provides expensive prosthesis to improve the lives of the clients. However, the company sends repo men to retrieve the artificial organs for those that do not pay the installments. }
If SciFi can imagine it, we can achieve it.
