On: Implausible and overfunded CPAP machine on Indiego...

Insurance for CPAP is actually fairly generous. Mine will pay for a new mask (~$150) every 3 months, and a new machine every year (~$1k).

Have to meet my deductible first of course, but I suspect most insurance would LOVE to be paying only $3/day.

Wow... that's some great insurance! I've got decent insurance, but mine will only cover 80% of costs, on a mask every 6 months, and a machine every 5 years.

Gold level Blue Cross plan via Obamacare. So yea, while not the absolute best it's pretty good.

Edit: Actually, I was wrong. Machine only every 5 years. They do cover masks/tubing every 3 months though.

Oh, phew. Still, 100% coverage, and faster masks is better than mine.
