BCBS denies boy new prosthetic arm

Hey, kid, life's tough. It's unfair. But you were born with only one arm, so I guess you kinda know that already....

Anyway, nobody owes you a prosthetic arm. You see, it's all about the free market for health care and private insurance and supply and demand. It's what makes America great. It's all very hard for you to understand right now, but when you grow up to be a one-armed man, you'll get it.

In the meantime, don't blame the insurance companies. They gotta feed their kids, too. And hey, your other arm looks pretty darn strong! Look out! Attaboy, tiger! Now run along and play.
