Someone I knew had to have his eye removed due to a malignancy. Medicare paid for the removal, but refused to pay for a prosthetic eye to REPLACE the eye because it was deemed "cosmetic surgery"!
He wore an eyepatch for several years while saving money to buy a replacement eye!
Yes they *are* that chintzy! Can you imagine how many prosthetic eyes *one* missile would be worth?!
