i simply don't have the money to shell out because phillips like many other electronic companies put a "stopwatch" on their products, so we have to keep buying it,
im simply stating what can be done, i don't care of your ethical opinions or anything, im posting the info and its here if you want to use it or to laugh at it. but its here, and im sure some are interested in using,
if you can afford decent quality health insurance, then power to you.
i can't. so ill do what i gotta do.
Being poor is not an excuse for being a crook. In fact, your dishonesty and attitude hurts other people who are poor or in need because it gives politicians one more excuse to drastically reduce or eliminate government programs to help the overwhelming number of honest poor people who are deserving of some assistance. "Look, they're all crooks like brokennose or whatever his names is!" is typical of their attitude and your dishonest attitude contributes to that impression.
You have labeled yourself as a liar and a cheat, while repeatedly mentioning in other posts that you are attending school, presumably to better yourself. Makes one wonder whether you cheat on your exams too. If so, you are wasting your time going to school because you will not be learning the skills you are seeking through dishonesty.
Yes, you have told us you are not interested in being judged here for your dishonesty, and that we are all wasting our time responding; but in fact we are not wasting our time, because we are more concerned with your besmirching the reputation of this valuable forum. Therefore what all the responders are trying to make clear, if you won't listen, is that no one else here endorses your crooked intentions as advice for others who come here seeking help and good information about sleep apnea and cpap treatment.
By the way, it is clear from your original post on this thread that you were not really asking for advice, you were offering this "gem" as advice to others as to how to commit a fraud. You were bragging that you thought you "knew" how to do it, and were offering it as an idea to others.

What is most pitiful is that in a country like this, these serious healthcare issues and expenses do in fact drive millions of people of all walks of life to such distress. Pay for heat or pay for blood pressure medication. Ask a doctor to prescribe double the pills you need, simply so you get more for the same co-pay, lowering your cost. Pay for a new cpap or contemplate fraud because you cant afford to 'live' anymore without buying a new one for $1,300. There but for the grace of Gd go I.
The previous poster in another thread from the UK really said it all -- his big worry was that he could only get ResMed products under their national health system or else have to pay extra. Well what a high class problem that is! And here, we have an American so essentially desperate for options that he would concoct in his mind a way to get the medical care he needs, albeit in an illegal way. No one can say American ingenuity is dead that's for sure.
I hope the OP sees the flaws in his plan and that the best way for him, now, is to go and get the health insurance coverage he is now, thankfully, legally entitled to under the new law. It will take a lot of outreach and education to millions of Americans in his position to 'unlearn' the medical survival skills and fears that have come from living a life desperate with no health insurance. I only wish him well in moving forward.
