The motor that let her raise and lowers the sear of her wheelchair stopped working two months ago and the idiots at the local place that sells various accessibility and mobility stuff, called Healthcare Accessories, kept claiming that Minnesota Medical Assistance didn't cover "nonessential" electric wheelchair repairs. I thought it was a load of crap, probably they were trying to get out of doing it because MNMA wouldn't allow price gouging. I suggested that she call her country social worker and have her look into it, and she agreed that the claim was BS, and after two months of the social worker and my friend's parents arguing with the place and threatening legal action the place gave in. What a bunch of assholes!

1. Why didn't she go somewhere else? nt

2. It's the only place locally that does electric wheelchairs AFAIK.
