If i cannot afford cpap, now what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CPAP: See if you can get on Medicaid. Buy a used-reconditioned one. I have one myself I bought as a back up. Will cost at least 1/2 as much. Advertise for the type you need on Freecycle or in paper. See what you can find online. Ask Dr. to have a social service consult to help pay.
