I recall a local fundraiser being held to buy someone an insulin pump. The family wasn't rich, but they weren't exactly poor either. Like seeing eye dogs, they ought to be free of charge to those in need. I don't understand the station insurance on the technical equipment bit.

I saw that, and quickly realized, I need to check my remotes before THIS happens now.. The batteries expire next year..
I say ditch alkaline altogether. They can go bust regardless of expiration date, even the "better" ones.
