Sleep apnea test

I'm overweight (though I've lost nearly a hundred pounds in the past year and a half) and have never had a problem sleeping. I get plenty of sleep, wake up with tons of energy, don't nap during the day and don't snore. Had to get tested when I finished CDL school to get hired with the company that runs the school. They say I have sleep apnea and need a machine. What a crock. We had to sign a note for the machine before we could even see the thing. They say it costs $1300+ but the company will pay $600. After I got it I started checking it out online and found that it sells for less than $700. Same model and accessories.

Since obesity is now classified as a "disease" is it OK for them to discriminate based on weight? I know two longtime drivers at this company who are pretty fit but have sleep apnea. They know they have it but say they won't use a machine and the company won't even test them because they're not overweight!
