INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (KCTV) - An Independence woman, who doctors told would be partially blind for the rest of her life, is regaining her vision due to a relatively new implant approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    It was a successful case that came at a cost. Sanders’ insurance covered the surgery itself, but she had pay $9,000 out of pocket for the implant. Her provider called the procedure “cosmetic.” Landreneau, who’s already planning to perform the surgery on other patients in the state, disagrees.

    So giving someone their vision back is cosmetic. What the fuck, man? Insurance companies are fuckin heartless.

          Medically necessary mandatory with those psychos. If you don’t get to control whether or not to have a child, imagine what else women will not get to choose. 18 men register for selective service, and women will select which “service” they can do for their country, Botox, perma-spraytan, or augmentation. Patriot Points will be determined for those who refuse, holding camps and deportation await. A glorious future.

      Take the sight of an insurance executive and call it cosmetic damage
