Have you tossed up the likely costs? Without insurance my impression is you'll be up for a sizable amount of money regardless of the brand/pump. Others will be able to comment more specifically on your situation, but I believe it would be at least $6000US outlay to get a pump. Ongoing costs would be very high too. This might be viable for you, or there may be other options open to you that I'm not aware of, I just don't know. I hope there are options for you to get a pump.
