A Swedish man who's legs were amputated due to complications from diabetes was denied a powered wheelchair because the government health service was "uncertain if the impairment was permanent".
The manufacturer of the wheelchairs provided the man with one on loan after a media expose. Private business to the rescue after government health care missteps?
I'm so looking forward to government bureaucrats in charge of our health care.
