I just wonder how people can afford all of this. I know that many people
are out of state plans  and pay close to nothing but since I got a college
degree, worked and my husband worked making my situation a lot different
than most I am ineligible and have to pay 20% of anything. Because of what
happened to me early this year I am most likely looking at surgery
(inpatient unfortunately) and all because of someone's negligence!

Further, like I've brought up in a previous e-mail just the cost of a new
rehab power chair is just as much. When I got the chair I still have today
(received in September 2011) it was $32,000 and because of my insurance I
had to pay $5000 out of pocket. The years fly by and I am sure they cost
just as much today which is more than most people pay for a brand-new
car/vehicle. I wanted to try to get any chairs but my health has yet to be
taken care of.

And what makes it 10x more immoral, the insurance companis with contracts, will settle with them for maybe $10,000. Though if you have no insurance, you pay ALL. So a big company, with record profits pays a 3rd of a poor person.

I use a "grip it" sold at Hsn.com on my smart phone. I bought a Tracfone 
there. BTW they have a Samsung Tracfone today only which looks like a good deal.

Dose anybody know, or have, a pre pay smart phone?I'm in the market.How do you 
physically handle these phones, I find them very slippery.That's why I've had a 
flip phone 📱 for many years because they don't slide out of my hands so 
easily."You must fail in order to succeed"

Response from the company: "We actually can't make any medical claims, but
the purple helps to relieve pressure and give comfort!"

I'm very tempted to give it a try.
