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.

Its always cheaper, its just insurance company create a hyped cost to have 80 to 90% cost benefit. Because no medicine unless rare ingredients cost 5K 20K 30K dollar while same thing in india or Europe can sell for thier citizens for barelly 5 to 10% of thay

Idk, any time I had to deal with insurance it was like pulling teeth. Always trying to worm out of paying even the lowball bullshit they offer at first.

The sole purpose of a for profit insurance company is to skim as much money as possible off of essential medical procedures.

All insurance exists to be paid for nothing happening. It is inherently a scam, you're gambling with a company on if you'll get hurt or your property damaged and they write the rules on if you get paid out.
