No Wheelchair, No Life

The winds of change may blow Medicare’s death grip on powered wheelchairs away. United Spinal reports:

Medicare Independent Living Act of 2007
“This bill, H.R. 1809 in the U.S. House of Representatives and S. 2103 in the U.S. Senate, would allow Medicare beneficiaries to receive power-operated wheelchairs or scooters from Medicare Part B if such devices are needed to go to the grocery store, keep medical appointments, take children to school, go to houses of worship, vote, and otherwise participate in their communities.”

It may take a very strong wind to get this job done. Add to the storm!
