Hi Nita, I only said that medicare would not pay for both walker and a wheelchair. We found that out last year when George had needed a wheelchair, then was in need of walker also..We were told by medicare that since we already had the wheelchair they would not pay for the walker. I will check again and see since he now must have the support of the braked walker. I will keep you posted. Juanita CG for George 74/71/64
