As a result of being denied insurance coverage, a six-year-old child in Missouri may never be able to hear again. Fox2Now in Saint Louis has word of the sad story of Madison Leuchtmann. Madison's family, who live in Lincoln County, Missouri, faces a grim choice: pay a $20,000 medical bill that's not covered by their insurance company or let their daughter lose her hearing. Madison was born with a rare condition called bilateral artesia, which essentially means she was born without ear canals.
