Well, My insurance won't cover a pre existing Illness, But I was able to purchase a tank. I get my 02 from LINCARE anmd since I am a cash paying customer, my charge is $10 a tank. They even gave me two other tanks thus avoiding daily trips to LINCARE. Originally, I was renting a tank for $75 a month but when the knew I had no coverage, they managed to give me break. Fortunately, the staff was familiar with CH's and they treat about 20 others with the DEMON. I guess I got lucky,but it is interesting that most CH sufferes show up at LINCARE in clusters (No pun intended) in a two week time period
Jam on, David Chalfant
