I am currently using a wound vac that is leased from KCI, the company that
makes them. it is a small box about 8in. x 6 x 4. The cost? $3000 per month!
For a damn little gadget that I guarantee cost no more than $200.

I swear, in the almost 32 years I've been a quad, it has never been so hard
to get help and it has never cost me so much out of pocket since I worked.
I watched Bush say children have always been able to go to the ER for
treatment and there shouldn't be federal funding to guarentee health care
for children. Along with his budget cuts in health care, he has been
removing the safety nets put in place under Johnson and Nixon. America now
ranks 41 in health care among industrialized nations. Yet America spends
more healthcare dollars than the top 20 nations combined. Ohyea, I forgot
we have those people selling health insurance that need to be supported.
The CEO of blue cross still doesn't have enough private jets to get his dog
to the vet for breakfast.

Yes, I guess it is pretty much the same in all states. I just found this
out, I have to have stage 4 with gaping wounds before I can get a lateral
rotating mattress. Right now I have a KCI Bed, donated to me from a friend
who passed away. Last March it bottomed me out & we cannot get it to stay
inflated, I think I need 6 cushions replaced. I really miss the lateral
rotation. Since Medicaid or Medicare didn't buy the bed they won't fix the
bed! So this is where I'm at now. I had a little help from United Way last
April but you would not believe the hoops that I had to jump thru! It is
sickening!
