“You’ll find a large number of folks who obtain these “free” via Medicare and Medicaid selling them at big discounts on eBay, Craigslist, etc.”
Can’t say I’m wild about that. But at least they’re going to people who actually need and can use them.
It’s all part of the ginormous underground economy as the US devolves into a third world scenario.
Couple days ago I read a story how canned cola has become a defacto currency of poor rural Kentucky. When the $500 food stamp deposit arrives, everybody purchases cases of canned pop.
Then they sell the pop to other stores for 50 cents on the dollar.
