From what I’ve read insurance does not cover this at all. What amazes me is that there’s only one company that makes a device like this in the US not even sure there’s one in Canada. Since there are 20 million people suffering from this illness why hasn’t anybody else developed this technology to help the masses. This technology should be made available to all prosthetic companies everywhere. And prescribed by their neurologist. I understand that this device might need to be adjusted to benefit the individual but no one should have to drive long distances in order to receive this medical miracle. It is already difficult for those of us suffering from this illness to travel. If this device improves my quality of life, then I will pay whatever it is to get it.

My husband is in a private care home now for dementia. I pay for his care with no help from our wonderful government. So for people such as I, unless you are wealthy, this device would be definitely be out of our price range. It is a sad commentary on both our health care systems. No one knows what our golden years will bring and the young working today had better be putting some money aside for the later years because I’m pretty sure the days of the government pension fund, which those working pay into, will be long gone.
