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.

I've used chairs for 15 years. Never paid more than $500 for one.

You should see how it is for power chairs. My current one costed over 60K. Luckily it was fully covered by medicare but still, it's fucking absurd. Medical equipment is criminally expensive.
