Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2026
“I want my friend to talk. He wrote this bill.”
“My bill lets Medicare patients choose their own wheelchair. They can pay extra for a fancy one if they want. The government won't pay more. Let patients pick what's right for them. That's good.”
“I don't object to this bill. But it helps people who have money for fancy wheelchairs. That isn't fair. Medicare should give everyone the same wheelchair.”
“The bill will make it easier for Medicare beneficiaries to get better wheelchairs if they want to pay extra for it. I support this bill. You should too.”
