The SCOOTER Store Launches New Advertising Highlighting the Value and Cost Savings From Medicare's Power Mobility Benefit
New Television Ad, "This is Medicare and America at its Best," Begins Airing Today
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The SCOOTER Store today launched a new advertising strategy that outlines the quality of life improvements and cost savings associated with Medicare's Power Mobility Benefit, which allows disabled senior citizens and others living with limited mobility to receive power wheelchairs.
With budget cuts likely in the Medicare program if healthcare reform legislation is enacted, Doug Harrison, CEO and Founder of The SCOOTER Store, said that it is critical for Congress, policymakers and Medicare beneficiaries to recognize the value of the Power Mobility Benefit.
"It is unfortunate that this very important Medicare benefit is so often misunderstood," Mr. Harrison said. "Our ads will emphasize that increased mobility enhances the lives of Medicare beneficiaries, while pointing out that seniors with power wheelchairs save the government more than $1 billion a year from fewer visits to emergency rooms after falls, and by delaying placements in costly nursing homes. Clearly, this is a benefit that healthcare reform should sustain, not reduce."
The initial ad began airing today on national news networks in specific markets, and will be broadcast in others in future months. Entitled "Medicare and America at its Best," the 60-second spot was produced by Frisby & Associates, Inc. /Noelle-Elaine Media. The ad shows senior citizens maneuvering power wheelchairs to do everyday tasks in a home, as they discuss some of the benefits of power wheelchairs for people with limited mobility.
In the ad, Mr. Harrison says that enabling seniors "to live safely and independently in their own homes greatly improves their quality of life and cuts healthcare spending. Our nation's physicians prescribe power wheelchairs because they know the loss of personal mobility can lead to painful and costly fall-related injuries and prematurely force people into expensive nursing homes.
"Together, Medicare, physicians and equipment providers bring mobility to those needing it most. Medicare's power mobility benefit has restored pride and dignity to a generation of Americans who helped build and protect our nation.
"This is Medicare and America at its BEST!!!"
The ad asks viewers who want more information about the Power Mobility Benefit to call 866-242-3889 or visit www.SupportMobilityNow.com. The ad can also be viewed at www.SupportMobilityNow.com.

Three Wheel Electric Scooter T3 helps Police Security
Saturday, December 5, 2009

Last week I posted about campus police are now switching to Three Wheel Electric Scooters (green Scooters). Is three wheel electric scooter only for persons with mobility issues? Well the police are also benefiting from it. People are actually interested when when police officers use three wheel electric scooter.
When I first posted a news topic about Police officers are now trying to use a three wheel vehicle. It had the most views. Is investing in this types vehicle worth it? You decide. Read below:

Scooters help guards step up patrol
Two electric T3s are used in daytime at county site
By Jeff McDonald, UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
San Diego — Guarding 18 acres of lawn, parking lots and the historic County Administration Center itself could be a tough day’s work. But the job now goes a little smoother for the crew at Heritage Private Security.
Site supervisor Patty McCallister used to take up to 20,000 steps during a single shift, writing tickets for illegal parking, looking out for vandals and generally keeping the peace.
Now McCallister patrols the same grounds on a T3, a three-wheeled electric scooter that glides across the vast parking lots and picnic areas without making a sound. And she has to exercise on her own time.
“We’re able to cover more ground in less time,” McCallister said. “And our response time is much quicker.”
These “personal mobility vehicles” aren’t available to everyday consumers. They are strictly marketed as a next-generation law enforcement tool to police departments, government agencies and security operations around the globe.
According to the Costa Mesa-based manufacturer, the T3s are used at Point Loma Nazarene University, Palomar College, Fashion Valley mall, Southwestern College and UCSD Medical Center, and by the downtown San Diego business partnership.
At the county building, the Clerk of the Board’s Office is responsible for maintaining and securing the county government’s most visible asset, the iconic building along San Diego Bay that was dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression.
This month, the county took delivery of two of the electric scooters, which cost $9,000 each. The money came from a $350,000 fund approved this year by the Board of Supervisors to improve security and emergency services at the complex, including better lighting and evacuation chairs for the disabled.
“We’re doing a number of things to upgrade security in the building,” said David Hall, the county official who helps oversee the County Administration Center. The T3s “have worked out really well for us.”
The T3s can move as fast as 25 miles per hour, although McCallister said the two she is in charge of are set to go no faster than 8 mph — at least until she and her guards are accustomed to operating the vehicles. They have sirens and flashing lights, and the driver also can employ a “squelcher” to get people’s attention.
“When I first heard we were getting them, I thought it was an accident waiting to happen,” said McCallister, who added a black helmet to her wardrobe as a result of the T3s. “But once I learned how to maneuver, it makes things a whole lot easier.”
McCallister said the platform she stands on allows her to see much more of the parking lot than she could on foot. At 5 feet, 5 inches tall, she couldn’t see above many of the sport utility vehicles.
“It’s increased my visibility,” she said. “I’m 9 inches taller than I was before.”
The job of guarding the County Administration Center is shared by sheriff’s deputies and Heritage Private Security teams. The security company generally patrols outside during the day and both indoors and outdoors overnight. The county paid Heritage a little more than $500,000 for its 24/7 operation during the past fiscal year.
The T3s are used only during the daytime because the charge lasts about 15 miles per day. At night, they are recharged and stored in a maintenance shop on the corner of the property.
McCallister said she gets a lot of comments on the T3s from people visiting county headquarters, but not everyone thinks they were a good investment. During an interview with McCallister the other day, James Spellman of North Park stopped by to add his two cents’ worth.
“This is the biggest waste of government money ever,” said Spellman, who said he only travels on two wheels. “There’s nothing that can be done on that that can’t be done on a bicycle. I’m 55 years old. I don’t understand why people half my age can’t pedal a bike.”
