Guest guest Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I have two passions in my life. The second is to help any one with ms and their caregivers. The first is to do whatever I can to rid America of the most destructive and disastrious President that has done more to dismantle and divide this nation than anything else in its history. Messed-up regulations This upcoming election is without doubt the most important election of our life. The current administration is not only destroying Medicare but is also destroying America. I live my life in a wheelchair. The following rules now apply to these power wheelchairs: Previously, users of these wheelchairs got them free of charge; after they paid Medicare small co-pay, they owned them outright. But beginning this month, Medicare requires equipment providers to essentially rent the wheelchairs to patients over a 13-month period. At the end of that time, if a patient still meets the requirements for needing and using the chair, he or she can keep the equipment with Medicare paying most of the maintenance costs. But if sometime during that 13-month period, the Medicare recipient is confined to a nursing home or moves in with relative or otherwise switches residences, he will probably lose the chair because the provider is required to repossess it. If the chair is repossessed, the user must reapply (an arduous process) to get another chair. The American Association for Homecare argues that these new Medicare rules defy common sense and make it difficult for suppliers to offer power wheelchairs at Medicare-approved rates. The chairs have to be especially modified to meet the needs of an individual user, so the idea that they can be repossessed and then reused by somebody else is very impractical. These self-serving politicians are decimating the fabric of our country. Please vote out these incompetent people, in only for themselves.
