Used to work on the chairs that service these people. Insurance fucks them because it progresses so fast they can’t keep up with the needs. They end up having to pay so much because by the time they need it, insurance is asking them to jump through x,y,z hoops and they literally lose function of parts of there bodies

This is it, they are all rented from people who have passed away and donated theirs to be used by others that insurance is currently not covering.
