Yes, "can" in this sentence indicates possibility. In this case, it implies the possibility or the likelihood of non-white amputees having to spend more for a prothesis. So "can" in this sentence not only indicates possibility, but also probability. Ex: You can save hundreds of dollars on this insurance. Ex: Eating too much sugar can make you sick.
