I don't know if the same dynamic is applied to other assistive products, but I'll always remember in my first job (part time working at a local drug store while in junior high) seeing the *cost* price (ie what the store buys it at) for a $99.00 (1980-something price) blood sugar measurement device. Cost for that local store was NOT EVEN HALF of the retail price. For something people use to help them stay alive. Ever since I have always been highly suspicious of the high pricing on assistive or personal medical products.
