Insurance runs out for boy with missing arm

The greed that defines America's broken health care system never ends, does it?

In Michigan, a 12-year-old boy who was born with most of his right arm missing now has no way to pay for a prosthetic arm, which costs $30,000. That's because his insurer says he has already reached his lifetime maximum limit for health coverage.

Only 17 U.S. states prohibit insurers from setting lifetime caps on prosthetic coverage. Michigan is not one of them.

This is the condition the American health care system has fallen to?
