Too many hands in the pie. Just for laughs, check out what it would have cost to order online. Not that I'm denigrating the value of needed PT or OT input, or that of wheelchair experts and customization, but the numbers still don't add up right.
I wish we could find out how much the chariot really costs. I want to know how much the material costs and how much it costs for the person(s) to put it together. If it's $9K, fine. But if it's $2K and some company is making $7K off your daughter's illness, that is NOT fine.
Where's your bill for how many years off your life it took to get it?
What? Oh my fucking god. No way.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this and thought, "Holy shit!" and then I saw your comment. Jeez...

ReplyDeleteUnreal.
ReplyDeleteWe have a foam custom insert in ours. KACHING!!! Shocking to know that one can buy a used car for the same amount.
ReplyDeleteThat includes the horses and Ben Hur himself, I presume.
ReplyDeleteDenise wins the comments!
ReplyDeleteI saw the amount...and then Beg Service Date. For a moment I though "Well, begging WAS actually necessary, right?"
Let's hope that at midnight, the chariot does not turn into a pumpkin...

No wonder medical insurance is so expensive in the States. Katie's wheelchair was $1400 and I thought that was a lot.
