If you read the article closely, it stated the man was to be given an electric wheelchair but he did not want it. He wanted something like the "Rascal" power scooter. Our Medicare does not furnish those free either. If doctor approved, our Medicare will pay about 80% and your gap insurance may pick up the rest - or you pay the rest.

I cannot believe you look for articles as obscure as this one just to poke fun at our government. Usually, you are one that says government giveaways to the needy should be taken away.
