Things That Make You Go "Hmmmm"

Fact 1:
"In 2008, total national health expenditures were expected to rise 6.9 percent -- two times the rate of inflation. Total spending was $2.4 TRILLION in 2007, or $7900 per person. Total health care spending represented 17 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). U.S. health care spending is expected to increase at similar levels for the next decade reaching $4.3 TRILLION in 2017, or 20 percent of GDP." -- National Coalition on Health Care

Fact 2:
"Find out if you qualify for a Power Chair or Mobility Scooter at Little or No Cost to You!"

The SCOOTER Store is America's number one provider of power chairs and scooters for one simple reason - we make it easier for you to use your Medicare benefit to help you get the mobility you need. Medicare could cover 80% of the cost of your new power chair or scooter. And if you have supplemental insurance, it may cover the remaining 20%. That means the mobility you need could cost you little to nothing!-- The Scooter Store

Retail cost for a Power Chair or Mobility Scooter: $1,395 to $6,700.

These two facts are not even remotely related, I'm sure.
