America charges triple for basics, calls it normal
A senator posts about a $11 bath mat that could save Medicare recipients tens of thousands in fall-related injuries, betting the bulk purchase pays for itself in a year.

Prevention measures like an $11 bath mat could save Americans tens of thousands of dollars. If Medicare would send these out to every recipient in America, I’ll bet the investment would pay for itself in under a year.
