- RecycledEle 3y agoA CPAP is a simple device. It is a fan that generates constant air pressure, with a heater and a bit of water to humidify the air. The idea that the law prevents me from pulling defective foam out of a device I own is terrifying.
- elteto 3y agoTypical libertarian strawman. You can pull all the foam you want out of _your_ device. No one cares. The government least of everybody. You are free to hurt yourself due to the consequences of your own actions. You can't go modifying some types of medical devices and then sell them to _others_ without going through some sort regulatory process. Simple as that.
- elteto 3y agoThis is the typical libertarian insanity: "Regulations are bad, ergo there should be no regulations. And once we get rid of them everything will just work because somehow everyone will still abide by _some_ rules, although they are not required."
