20k is one medium home remodel (one deck, Hall bath, or painting the outside), half the price of my sisters powerchair, or paying down half remaining on my car
edit: i realize you probably weren’t judging, my bad for the attack dog
i mean… there is when she is completely non ambulatory, needs a specialized back to support her upright, requires tilt relieve pressure point throughout the day, and has large tires so she can go outside in the dirt without getting whiplash from the bumps. A privilege, sure, but I think its well deserved

There is no reason for a powered wheelchair to cost as much as an expensive car
For that money I’d expect to be stomping around town in a fucking mechsuit.
There’s no GOOD reason an MRI should cost $1500 either.

without specializations it could probably run at 12k, and insurance wont pick up anything above basic
