]]> Comment on Home Insurance: Taking Full Coverage Is Quite Important by California Casualtyhttp://myisha.net/home-insurance-taking-full-coverage-is-quite-important/comment-page-1/#comment-138 California Casualty Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:14:06 +0000 http://myisha.net/home-insurance-taking-full-coverage-is-quite-important/#comment-138 It is always an advantage if you purchase a home insurance as this can really help when unfortunate things happen in the future. However, be reminded that there are many insurance companies offering insurance policies - this can puzzle you...so it is important that you have enough knowledge about insurance and I would agree with author about self-educating about insurance.

]]> Comment on Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles Can Help The Disabled Travel Independently by Luchttp://myisha.net/wheelchair-accessible-vehicles-can-help-the-disabled-travel-independently/comment-page-1/#comment-49 Luc Mon, 07 Jun 2010 01:46:27 +0000 http://myisha.net/?p=1146#comment-49 I am a C5/C6 quadriplegic and while I totally agree with the need for people with disabilities to be able to drive, I see this to be very feasible and economical for paraplegics because all they need is basic hand controls. However, it is a different story for quadriplegics like me who only have limited use of their hands. I drive my own van at home and the total cost of the conversion (excluding the cost of the van) is about 50K. I would love to be able to arrive at an airport and be able to rent an accessible van I can drive myself, but I can not imagine that any rental car company is willing to make such an investment. In addition, every quad is different and therefore needs custom driving equipment. Positioning of the wheelchair in front of the steering wheel also varies for every quad. Rental companies would have to spend time swapping and adjusting equipment depending on the quadriplegic's specific needs, a task that could take several hours in some cases. But regardless, I wouldn't mind to pay a little extra for the independence I get by being able to drive myself.

I am in a wheel chair and need to get access to my lower level. NO ONE seems to have any financial assistance for this type of equipment. I find this appaling at the number of people who could so benefit from such an aid. I am seriously looking for a stair glide lift to help me navigate my home.

Unfortunately, stair lifts are not covered by insurance. The only things I could come up with are loan programs with the stair lift suppliers that can offer a payment program.
