Dovewithscales responding to the op highlighted should have told us what the power wheel chair costs. Why should we look it up, when they clearly already did and it's the same effort for them to just post that. I don't doubt it's also insanely overvalued because we've decided to allow anticompetitive trusts run by private equity to maximize profit on treating the sick. To wring the life savings from the old for procedures that used to cost a modest reasonable sum, and to inflate health care premiums, itself a parasitical industry, to the point that a family on their own might pay 25,000/year or health insurance.
How are we not angry about this? Angrier. Is there really nothing we can do, when we haven't tried all that much?
