i guess I'm lucky...

My insurance provider does cover the cost of the pump, supplies, CGM and accessories. I couldn't justify it, if I had to pay out of pocket. It will run me about $700 to get the pump with my insurance. Not sure about monthly costs, but they won't be too much more than what I'm paying now. (that's all relative)

In the end, if I don't like it, I can always switch back without too much drama. I see my biggest hurdle as the bolus calculation. I've never really figured out my Insulin to Carb ratio. I guess it's time to start counting and get a baseline.
