Therefore, to reduce costly expenses on cochlear implant is a must. I will write to Congress that cochlear implant must be eliminated from Medicaid through which many parents use to implant their children. Parents who want to implant children should buy an insurance out of their pockets, NOT out of American taxpayers' pockets. I will remind Congress that deafness is NOT an illness. I have never seen any deaf child being absent from school because of an illness from their deafness. Being deaf does not make people sick. Therefore, to reduce costly
