No, basically it's because one size can't fit all needs.   I wish Medicare
and Medical Assistance did not have the stupid proviso in their regulations
which states that they will only pay for the powerchair for home use only,
not to have a life outside of home.  They are, in effect, holding people
prisoner by not allowing them to get the type of chair suitable for outdoor
as well as indoor use.   ----Rant mode off now...

Mike, 

I'm not sure if I know what I'm talking about and wanting whatever answer
to, but however the majority of us know that sometimes private insurance
companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield are much more willing to buy a better
quality of power chair compared to the power chair that Medical Assistance
is willing to purchase.  With this in mind, is this why companies have to
produce various series?  

Thanks, 
Anthony
