Why this bill make it harder for me fix my wheelchair? I need my wheelchair to get around and now this bill gonna make it more expensive to repair it. This not fair to people like me who rely on our wheelchairs every day. Why they make it so hard for us to take care of our own equipment? This bill need to be changed to help people like me who need our wheelchairs to live our lives.
