I just wrote Arthur Graham asking why he didn't identify the idiots that
feel because They pay taxes that Medicaid patients don't deserve a C-Leg
I guess you feel the surgeon should of done a less than the best amputation
as well ! What would you guys give that patient , Duct tape and a broom
handle ? Also don't send me your private hate notes If you got guts show
them to the whole list !

Subject: [OANDP-L] Responses to Medicaid & C-Leg


Dear Colleagues
Here are the 3 replies that I received.


>>Yes, you get back 50% of what you paid for the c-leg <<


>>Why are you putting a C leg on an MA patient. They don't even pay taxes,
and I can't get a C leg authed for patients that have good coverege, work
50-60 hrs a week and pay taxes.<<


>>I have just one question, as a tax payer not as a prosthetist, Why do you
feel that all us tax payers should supply a Medicaid patient with this
expensive knee when others that are far less expensive can perform nearly as
well???
Without raising taxes, there is a set amount of money in Medicaid to take
care of an ever growing population of people that need basic medical care.<<

Thanks for the responses, must go and finish my tax return :)
Arthur Graham, CP
