<description>I understand how the Group Health Plan Prosthetics Parity Act of 2007 - HR 5615 IH will help support the prosthetics industry, and provide prostheses to amputees whom otherwise would not be able to obtain them.

Without addressing these points the proposed legislation would impact insurance companies negatively causing an increase in costs, and open the possibility of further injury to amputees increasing costs even further....</description>
