And every day in the lunch room I have to watch motor scooter commercials about how Medicare will pay for everything!
I hear yah PB. Especially that old geezer!!!
Medicare pays an average of $5,200 per wheelchair, but add-on accessories can bring the total up to $10,000, making it one of the most expensive items for which Medicare will reimburse.

2003 scandal on scooter fraud. Don’t know if it has been stopped entirely. Probably not;(
I've seen numerous people using these scooters as their primary mode of transportation. On one hand it's sad to see but these people are getting a 'free' scooter and using it like a car. I'm sure they just go get a new free scooter after they beat their old one up.
And every day in the lunch room I have to watch motor scooter commercials about how Medicare will pay for everything!”
Doesn’t that make your teeth gnash????
How about the latest commercials from a company telling me that I can receive all my “incontinent supplies” from Medicare—selected from 6 available brands chosen by me & a ‘caring expert’ on their end of the phone?
I won’t have to suffer the embarrassment of having to purchase my adult diapers “out in public” (GASP) & my supplies will be delivered right to my door in a plain brown cardboard box for privacy. I like my UPS driver, but REALOLY!!!!!!!!
I also won’t have to do any paperwork after the first encounter, because “they will bill Medicare for everything”.
SURE THEY WILL!!!!!!!Over & over & over again & again!
Since when is my possible need for adult diapers the responsibility of the American taxpayers!!!!????
I would be far more embarrassed to ask Medicare to pay for such an item. FAAAAAAR too personal an item.
