Do you mind telling mew how you got Medicare?  I'm not a senior and I tried
to get it, but they told me that I was too young.

Here is the estimate that they sent me.


*Motor w/ Gear Box-left                         395.00
*Footrest Hanger w/ Lock-left                 35.87
*24 Gel Batteries                                   420.00
Headrest Reupholstery                            75.00
Rear Tires w/ Flat Free Inserts             223.86
Labor                                                       195.00
                                                          ___________
                                 Total                      1,344.73

The batteries were working fine a week ago and if I needed new batteries, I
go to a whole seller place and save $200.  The only thing that I need to
get replace is the motor and the foot hanger.
