You are a good person. Thank you for your advice.

With the greatest respect to yourself....the "step" they took is nothing compared to what immigrants have to go through in most other countries, including my own in Western Europe, in order to live there for a long period. "It is not personal"...just tightening things up.
  Having said that, I prey things work out well for you and you get back home safe and sound ...eventually.
PS ..I have developed the habit in life of trying to have an "Attitude of Gratitude" and look for the things I have to be grateful for rather than focusing on the negatives. In your own case ...you are finally "stable"...How much worse it would be if you were destitute.
  

I am not criticizing anybody, just looking for advice. After all, my country won't let Thais in at all.

And some additional posts. A repeat of them will result in a formal warning.

I was told my requirements were too high.. I am sure I will figure something out when I leave for good but it is not worth the hassle for a passport rin.

Well taking this on face value, there is nothing that stops you travelling by air if you require oxygen. 
I've travelled millions of miles through my working life and and seen many passengers with an oxygen tank

I agree

Blame your embassy, not immigration. There's a reason nothing has changed for the vast majority of expats in Thailand.

How expensive would it be to live there. I really do not want to go back to the US.

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope things go smoothly for you.
 
If it were me I would consider Malaysia, given the excellent cheap health care and ease of travel around and from Thailand. 
You can go easily by rail with cheap sleeper berths if an hour or two flight wouldn't work for you (depending on where you are in Thailand).
 
The air seems to be significantly cleaner much of the year in Malaysia than it is in a lot of Thailand (from what I've heard) and medical services and mass transit are more advanced plus they speak the Queen's English.
