Marty,

Making replacement parts that sell as units is wide spread. I put a quarter size hole in a tailight lense but you can't buy just a lense anymore. I had to have whole tailight assembly unit for $175 plus installation.

Your nose piece story is unreal. Where are their cost control guys? And why can't we find a phone number to complain about stuff like this?

MARTY,

IT'S ALL A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY, OR DIDN'T YOU KNOW?

KIM

P.S GLAD YOU FOUND YOUR PRICE.

Marty,

Thats our government, they hire these people, give them a desk, pens and the check book. Most of them couldn't tell you their supervisor's name. Once they are there a while, get a couple kickbacks sent to their homes, they are hooked and won't get caught for years to come.

Firing government employees takes an act of congress. Look at the mess FEMA, Red Cross and the military is facing. The Army supply channels were good at paying $30 or more for a screwdriver or $80 for a plain hammer.

The scooter company tried to get my insurance to pay $4,001 for a scooter that cost $1,350. I refused to sign it.

I USUALLY GET KISSED BEFORE I GET SCREWED!!!!!

:roflmao:

You know. I just found out that the original Medicare Act required that all States have a Medicare QA contract that has a "plan" for each State - AND that this sort of thing is what I understand they would investigate. Course I don't have any idea of how to find more out about this... and I'm a bit too tired to go digging around on the web. Just thought it might be of interest that there may be a place to go with this.
