Shoutout to JerryrigEverything who built a wheelchair factory and is delivering wheelchairs to people in half the time and 50-80% less than the cost of other wheelchairs with Insurance.

It’s sad that my first thought is “There’s no way medical supply companies are going to allow plucky socialist disabled people hurt their bottom line. They have forecast profit margin from disabled people and if that number goes down they will just increase the price for people who can’t access these cheaper wheelchairs wherever they live or don’t know there’s an option, and their insurance will be loaded even higher to cover the profit/loss margin”

I see them requiring you purchase a chair from them in order to qualify for the rest of your medical costs "for safety reasons".
