@vic83 I didn’t know how the Medicare coverage works. That information is very helpful. Thanks you.
Yes, I am in Florida and the time of year does make a big difference in traffic! I have two large batteries and have used the adapter to charge in the car. If I am not exerting myself and can power the Rover 6 down to a low setting of 2, the car adapter will keep it fully charged. If I have to have a higher setting though, it can’t keep up. I also have tanks at home in case of electrical loss. It would probably be wise for me to look into a generator but I haven’t done that yet.

@curiouskitty Yes, at max setting Rov 6 does not last that long. And the max setting (it is pulse flow) is barely equivalent to 2L continuous flow.
Definitely you want to look into a generator and know what kind of backup you have. I lived in Southwest Florida at the time of Irma, and I remember having to evacuate. When I returned, no damage but without electricity (and cable TV!) for days. And the long lines at the gas stations - people getting gas for generators. Tell your power company and fire dept you are on oxygen.
