If you're fat and either insured or on Medicaid/Medicare you can get a nice way to get fatter for free! Food addiction is now just like drugs and alcohol, a disability.

Wrong. The ads say with Medicare and a supplement you could pay little or nothing. Medicare pays 80% for durable medical goods. Supplemental insurance would have to pay the rest. Try again. |

Jim, People with no self-control both amuse and disgust me, allowing these same people to abuse the system infuriates me! I see most overweight people in the same group as drug addicts. What coler is your HoveRound???

More like trolling mixed with personal attack. The kind of schtick that kills discussion. |

Pat, I'm not joking in the least. You don't seriously think that all the powered fatty mobiles you see around were sold to the owners do you? Even the Wal-Mart scooters are 100% paid for by taxpayers, total write-off under disabilities law. You can't be forced to lose weight, but the fatties can force you to pay for their scooters, either as a government handout or through higher insurance costs.

"Even the Wal-Mart scooters are 100% paid for by taxpayers, total write-off under disabilities law." Another false statement. Medicare pays only 80% for durable medical goods. |

!00% write off of Wal-Mart store scooters is a !00% loss of revenue, does Wal-Mart sell scooters as well, didn't realize that they did. Also the scooters are overpriced and most scooter dealers "forgive" any cost not covered, same trick the "no-cost" mail-order drug houses use.

Here's the Hoveround ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=kM6pEg_Ps9o It doesn't say free through Medicare, it says little or know cost depending on insurance coverage. From http://www.medicare.gov/publications/pubs/pdf/11045.pdf: "Generally, you pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you pay your Medicare Part B deductible for the year ($135 in 2009). Medicare pays the other 80%." |
