This is why I truly believe letting private companies administer ANY healthcare is a risky proposition.

A replaceable contractor or supplier is fine, but fully relying on a company to not go bankrupt, with something as invaluable as eyesight, is just plain stupid.

Government should have bought-out the company. I feel like society owes it to the people who got the implants. Ideally all healthcare and any critical software should be government owned or maintained so that there is never a risk of going bankrupt.

Private health is such a scam.
