Great news!! I cannot believe that we have reduced a great technology to any mom and pop operation with no clinical staff. I refused to bid because it has become a joke that just anyone can perform this therapy with no supervision or clinical experience at all. Medicare is falling apart and this is not the way to fix it. You want to decrease pricies then just decrease prices. I believe it is unconstitutional to award winners of poor quality products to save a buck. You tore down the oxygen companies why don't you just reduce prices and save the money your spending on these outrageous programs. Now my grandparents product selection and medical care has become an auction that the best players cannot participate in. Thanks Guys
