Lol, but Obama. Everything is more expensive now since 2017, and this is Trumps 2nd term not attempting to fix HC(or anyting) and you still blame Obama? How is Trump fixing it? Pathetic


Actually under Trump we’ve had decent inflation. Things cost a lot now because overall inflation over 40 years hasn’t been great. That’s not on Trump but on the career politicians you suck off.


You dumb fricks gave us the ACA and it has done nothing but drive up medical costs. This is the Democrats mess. You are going to have to own up to the failure, but instead double down on it and nothing gets fixed.

Google says they cost between 1500 and 13,000. Wonder how many people get a kickback on that 100k

Because Obama made everything prohibitively expensive for hard working Americans.

Obama? You are blaming Obama for something purchased by Medicare?

Obama hasn’t been president in almost a decade.

Who is doubling down with no fix having two terms since the ACA to do it? He has a concept?

The dem blame game is pathetic at this point.

Can’t be too bad if Republicans refuse to offer an alternative and their voters don’t seem to be too concerned with it.

How the frick are we paying $100k for a fricking electric wheelchair? This is outrageous. I’ll see if I can verify it further and get more details like the brand and manufacturer.


there’s NO WAY. you need to look not at the invoice but rather the Medicare EOB. this will show what Medicare ACTUALLY paid for the wheelchair.
i can promise you it’s much much less.
and the provider is able to write off the rest on their taxes, a huge write off.
