According to my cousin, her father does not meet the ObamaCare requirements to receive supplied oxygen. He has been using the oxygen for several years, and now they expect him to just stop. My Uncle is a WWII hero, his name listed in the book "The Forgotten 500." He recently took one of the honor flights to DC. I guess these guys aren't dying off fast enough for Obama.
the reason for industrial grade being more pure is the risk of explosion in an industrial setting is higher... there are no lubricants used in industrial grade, and they are filled the same way...
just buy yourself a tank, and if you are hesitant about exchange, have your tank refilled... hell you could probably get your medical tank refilled at the weld supply store..
and it is drier than medical grade...
industrial grade is better quality than medical grade...it has to be ( you can check this out for yourself )
Cutting Off Oxygen to Patriots was on Page 2137 of the bill.
Of course, you had to pass it to know it was in there.
I called into Rush’s show last January when it was nonstop Romney bashing to say that Romneycare was not the same as 0bamacare, that the sole thing they had in common was the individual mandate, and that 0bamacare was simply a “kinder, gentler Auschwitz.” Romney’s plan was not about denying care and 0bama’s is. 0bama will give you hospice and pain meds but no treatment.
If that’s the case, then great. I just have a “thing” about compressed gases, having seen some truly impressive scenes of what can happen when things go bad.
Oxygen can be some scary stuff.
As a ha-ha, here is a hilariously out of date US Navy training film about liquid oxygen. A little graphic at times, but mostly bizarre. “Man from LOX”.

I have been the guardian for one or both of my parents for 11 years. Believe me, I know first hand what Obamacare is. I’ve never been fooled by it.
If one has a melanometric or Muslim dispensation; well, no problem!
most fire stations and ems units get their tanks filled at the nearest weld supply store.
check the pricing.
the fda lists medical oxygen as a drug (can you believe this) which is why the paperwork and stuff makes the cost higher.
while medical oxygen is 99% pure, industrial has to be at least 99.5% pure.
the only stuff that has different crap done to it is avaition grade oxygen. This crap has to be dry, dry, dry.
