There is no brand that is better than the other. Just go to your local walmart or drug store and pick up the one that looks like it has the features you want and buy it. They all work the same and they all give good readings so cost is not a factor either.

You can get a good blood presssuemachine at just about any store that has a drug store. (Walmart, Target, Walgreens) Talk to the pharmasist about the machines and he will recommend one. No medicare will not pay for it. One thing to remember is that if you keep worrying about your blood pressure it can make it stay up. Also readings can be different in a few minutes time.
