I have my own kids to worry about!
At least this guy didnt have the people of America pay for his bodywork?]]>Oct 15th 2007 7:05AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/12/third-ear-implanted-into-artists-arm/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/12/third-ear-implanted-into-artists-arm/
The total cost is between $40,000 and $60,000. That includes the cost of the device itself, the surgery to implant it, and the post-implant follow-up training from audiologists and speech pathologists.



7. Does insurance cover the cost?

Many health insurance plans do. Some do not. People considering a cochlear implant should consult with their insurance carriers.

Lets see:
If you had a JOB with insurance benefits it would be free~

Even at the most expensive scenario:
60,000 / 15years works out to about 11 bucks a day.
Assuming the father of your daughter is alive and kicking he would be paying half...that breaks down to roughly less than 6 dollars per day?
And you are whining on here?
That is the real frightening story and exactly what is wrong with this country.
