    Will Medicare/other insurers pay for Segway?

    Vets eyeing on Segway. Can others be far off?

    Actually, I use my Segway to go from my office to the hospital.  It's about 1/3 mile, and I can get there in 1 minute and 45 seconds. The real bonus is fresh air, and NO HUNTING FOR A PARKING SPOT !!

    BTW, they are no longer $6k as the article states. Mine was purchased at Sam's.

    I've always wanted to try one of those.  Must be very enviro-friendly - less gas than a car Smile
