Will Medicare start covering Aspirin, cough syrup or Band-Aids since they are OTC ?

My Medicare Advantage Plan allows $108 per quarter for OTC.

... if CPAP is working with me and I have 100 percent compliance and 1.2 AHI and I am waking up refreshed, why mess with something that is working? You agree? Don't fix what isn't broken.

May I recommend Dr. Vinnie Boombatz?

Trump will place a 200% tariff on CPAP machines, and later, RFK Jr. will outright ban them.
