The baby boomers were already adults when Social Security expanded and Medicare was created; they entered the labor market during the system's expansion and retired as benefits matured, effectively passing through the entire lifecycle of the system paying low contributions and receiving high benefits.
Medicare's coverage rules for skilled nursing facilities require patients to have first been hospitalized for at least three days before becoming eligible for up to 100 days of SNF reimbursement.
In the United States, Medicare Part B coverage can cover qualifying electric wheelchairs, provided the product has obtained an HCPCS code and a physician has issued a certificate of medical necessity.
Once a device is redefined as a non-medical device, users will lose access to insurance reimbursement channels and must bear the cost of the device themselves.
