If it's a matter of life or death why didn't they have some sort of battery backup. It shouldn't need that much power. Or even additional generator.

As well as having moden version as a backup would be viable option. Article seems to make it more dramatic than it should be.

Judging from the photos, I'm not sure how well off these patients are. Bargaining from $25k to $8k was impressive but if you need to bargain that hard for a lift machine, how much is it to have a battery backup? and how difficult is it to have a proper hook up? or find someone who can do it properly?
