The IBOT wheelchair is not being covered by Medicare! This is wrong, unjust, a violation of human rights! It’s a violation of the Americans with Disability Act! It’s a wheelchair that makes us in chairs more productive, more independent, able to do more. ,pay more taxes, enjoy life more! Denial is discouraging to innovators The logic for denial is backward, shortsighted

I spent the morning reading through the stories people are posting and it is honestly wild how many of you have had the exact same runaround with Medicare. Dealing with their outdated logic is exhausting especially when you just want to get out into the world and live your life like anyone else. I am drafting a letter to the department heads right now so they stop ignoring how much innovation is actually being held back here.

I logged on this morning and just stared at the screen because the momentum building up here is honestly completely surreal and more than I ever imagined possible when I first started typing this out in frustration. It is wild to see how many people actually get why this technology is so crucial for independence and honestly just living life normally but the energy you all are bringing is keeping me going on days when I feel like giving up on this whole fight.

It would be a game changer. It would broaden the world that a person confined to a power wheelchair has closed up.
By providing quality products initially, the quality of life for the disabled person would be greatly improved. We deserve to live comfortably, happily, and able to depend on our quality chairs.
Would be life changing to myself and many others!! Medicare would save a lot of money if they approve things like this. But they rather spend tens of thousands of dollars on things over and over again. While we suffer day to day with the same things, over and over again!!
We are limited enough by our disabilities. This chair would give us so much more freedom and independence.
The iBot is not a luxury. It brings those with disabilities a quality of life that they deserve!
Wrong very wrong
Please consider covering this much needed piece of equipment
