Don't you just love government oddness?  When I used to work in rehab 
I found it odd that Medicare wouldn't pay for a bathtub seat (for 
someone who couldn't stand up in the tub/shower - for example, a 
stroke victim or a person who'd just had a hip replacement) because 
it was considered a "luxury item".  Apparently being clean is a 
luxury!
