I'm fortunate enough to afford to buy my machines out of pocket. Just trying to obtain a machine the insurance way was taking weeks (before covid even) and I got pissed off and figured out with my Perscription I could buy one on cpap.com with Amazon like service. However, obtaining the equipment was just the first hurdle for me. Thereafter, I approached finding the right settings as a search problem and eventually got some relief. Since I was not a severe case - at least by the "average of bad events" metric from the machine - I wasn't able to get much attention after trying several providers. I eventually bought a bipap machine after reading forums and hoping that more knobs to turn on the machine could yield better results. This helped a lot and again I'm lucky to be able to afford a new one without insurance. There's a lot of opportunity for improvement in this medical tech space.
