Scandinavian here—wait, the paid health insurance doesn't cover the devices themselves? I assume that people in the US are probably tired of "grass is greener on the other side" stories, but I'm seriously surprised that the paid insurance doesn't cover. Here, the free public health insurance covers the devices needed with no price limit, and cover all battery expenses for life. If you want to get the devices themselves from the private sector, the public health insurance covers up to some fixed price, with you paying the rest.
