    Having type one diabetes is a challenge in itself. Using the tubeless Omnipod removes one less problem to deal with. Omnipod to me,is one of the greatest inventions ever to aid those with diabetes.

    I am wanting to change my insulin pump yo the omni pod system. I have gone from Medtronic mini mec to omni pod. Got talked to going back to the Medtronic system. It is terrible. Very user unfriendly and my numbers are off the board. Omni pod system worked so well for me keeping my diabetes under tighter control. I am eligible for a new pump. I am turning 65 in June and just found out Medicare does not cover omni pods. This is ridiculous. Now in addition to going to Medicare and finding a supplement insurance co. It is a nightmare. I have been a diabetic type one for 55 years and feel I have worked hard to stay healthy. This should be the subscribers choice not the boardrooms!

    Good, functional prevention is worth a pound of cure. Please consider allowing Medicare to cover the Omni Pod Insulin Pump. I don't like age discrimination and I think that is what this is.

    This needs to be covered. Think preventative or worse complications or lingering death.

    Please do not be penny wise and pound foolish. Why pay later when prevention is possible.

    As the mother of a daughter with type 1 diabetes I want her to have the best available care and devices. These devices keep diabetics healthy and can keep other health issues at bay.

    Medicare, dollars are going to the Acute Care Nursing Homes. Why aren't the dollars going to the people that need Acute Care, but want to be in their home environment. The main factor MedicaRe is forgetting is human beings basic needs for the elderly and disabiled. The fear of a new environment, which causes feelings of isolation, that leads to depression. In the end this causesthe a major increase in medical costs. Wake up, and cut costs, and allow people to be home.
