    Aside from your ideas, there are two other options:

    You move to a state that lets medicaid recipients work and contribute a share of their income towards medical expenses but keep having medicaid pay for what they can't afford.

    Or you get a job that pays enough so that you can afford to pay for the ventilator, etc., yourself, with the money from the job.

    Yes, it's considered durable medical supplies and covered by insurnace

    For both the machine and supplies.

    Best wishes!
