Linda Weigel replied to Linda Weigel's discussion 'Please help a newbie with a cpap Q'

Hi Candace, Apria is giving me a payment plan for 10 months, after that I will buy it if I still need it. In the mean time, all of the folks here are so helpful they told me the best cpap to get and low and behold, Apria did not give me a newer mode…

Then she should say that... Say anything other than the falsehood that the connection between OSA and heart disease isn't sufficiently proven.

Rooster replied to Mike's discussion 'Shameless Self Promotion'

I believe that individuals should be free to make decisions for themselves. This goes for the patients and the providers. The patient is free to decide what to do and who to pay for what services. The provider is free to decide what services he offe…
