Need a CPAP machine...

Post by kona0197 » Wed Jun 19, 2019 5:17 pm

It's a long story. I got a new ResMed machine a few months ago. During this time I was kicked off the state ran medicare system because I made too much money the year before. I had to start paying for my own health plan that turns out to be too expensive for me and it was the least expensive of all the options. Too make matter worse I was dropped to part time at work for the Summer season. Trust me, I've been looking for work a lot, no success. I had to return the ResMed machine because I could not afford it. So where do I go from here? Anyone have an old one I can use?

I would highly suggest checking Craigs List or that LSAT (just heard the name) and get a machine in the 200-400 range if that's your budget... I would suggest this unit for bang for bucks..

If you already know what settings you need and your treatment was fairly stabilized, I have an older model machine sitting in my closet I'd be glad to send to you for $25 to cover shipping. If you're not able to make an outright purchase just yet, it could at least hold you over till you make other arrangements. It is not data capable. I think it's an ResMed S7 Compact with humidifier. Model may not be exactly right, but the machine has had little use. I got it from someone whose husband didn't adjust to treatment. Just let me know.
