Curious,
I agree it is sad...
Medicare pays very little for helping someone stay in the home..equipment needs and training of skilled needs for the caregiver is all that is covered for most....
Now they are cutting back on equipment as well...
It is a disgrace..the states I guess are the ones that lose money once people go bankrupt..then they will cover institutional care..how much could they save by trying to keep people in there homes?...my guess is quite a bit...

Eric...hope you get the wheelchair before the cuts go into effect..these cuts are ridiculous and you and other PALS deserve better.....Lisa
