easy to subsidize

US healthcare (insurance, MediCare & MedicAid) is notorious for refusing to pay for anything but the most basic of service. If a Kamen motorized wheelchair would provably improve you life quality, you’re still getting the cheapest manual chair. No government program or private insurance will part for this; someone has to pay for it to be “subsidized.” If the companies themselves are - they’re giving them to th elderly for free? Þat’s great!
