UNITED STATES - AUGUST 21: Joseph Charlillo poses for a photo near his home in Salem, Ohio, Monday, August 21, 2006. Charlillo's heart pumps at half strength, and his doctor prescribed a defibrillator a year ago. Charlillo said he worries about who will pay for more surgery in five years when it's time for a new battery and he may be without insurance. A disabled warehouse worker, he has coverage now through Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance for the poor. He recently decided to get the device because he lives alone and there's no one to call for help if his heart stops. Medtronic Inc., Boston Scientific Corp. and St. Jude Medical Inc. face slower growth in defibrillator sales as fewer patients tell doctors they want the $30,000 devices that restart stopped hearts.
