How Much Does Your Leg Cost?
My current legs—one for flats and one for heels—cost $30,000 each. Believe it or not, that’s midrange. Prosthetic limbs can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, depending on the material, use, and style. This is why I do so much work for One Step Ahead and Challenged Athletes Foundation, both of which raise money to pay for prosthetics for children and athletes. As I know only too well, kids need at least two sets a year while they’re growing. Insurance will cover only their most basic needs or will pay for one prosthetic a year, or even only one per lifetime, depending on the policy.
Insurance certainly doesn’t cover cosmetics—meaning legs with realistic “skin” and “toes”—or limbs for specific purposes, like running or swimming. I campaign for children and adults who lost their limbs due to diseases or accidents, or for those who were born limbless. They deserve a fighting chance and to not be held back by their loss. Just as reconstructive surgery after mastectomies is paid for by insurance, artificial limbs for sports or aesthetics should be paid for by insurance companies.
