    When you quintuple the price of an already expensive, widely purchased, life-saving device that is paid for largely by Medicaid and Medicare funds, you should expect that the government that is paying for your device will take notice and comb through the salient documentation to see if there is some possible legal problem with your price increase. Had the government not done so, we'd all be screaming that they were negligent in their financial oversight duties.

    You left out a couple of his strongest points:

    4. Only Germans may be citizens of the Germany. Only those of the German races may be members of the nation, their religion does not matter. No Jew may be a citizen.[3]

    24. We want to allow all religions in the State, unless they offend the moral feelings of the German race. The NSDAP is Christian, but does not belong to any denomination. The NSDAP will fight the Jewish self-interest spirit, and believes that our nation will be strongest only if everyone puts the common interest before self-interest.

    That was part of a staged joke involving Bill de Blasio (Mayor of NYC), Hillary Clinton (Democratic Candidate for President of US), and Leslie Odom Jr. (Actor who played Arron Burr in "Hamilton") -- and it was de Blasio, not Clinton, who said the line you misquoted. Later the same month, Barack Obama (President of US) referenced the joke, making an even better joke of his own.

    In April 2016, in a staged joke skit done for charity, Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio said he was on "C.P. time" for not previously endorsing Hillary Clinton for President. Leslie Odom Jr. then said he did not like the joke. After that Clinton delivered the punch line that it was supposed to mean "cautious politician time". This was criticized as racist and tasteless.[16] In response to this, President Barack Obama, during the 2016 White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 30, jokingly apologized for being late because of "running on C.P.T.", adding that this stands for "jokes white people should not make".

    Added to that, more and more physicians don't tell their patients when they select a "covered" procedure instead of one that isn't covered, even if the latter would be preferable to the patient (e.g., a skin autograft bearing potential complications to the donor site versus engineered tissue). They don't say "I'd like to do X but your insurance will not pay for it so I'll do Y", they just say "I'll do Y".

    At $12/minute, if you spent two hours per day on the phone with your GF in DR, that would have been $1,440 per day, or $5,760 for four days (you don't say how long you were house sitting but at one line per night, four lines, you must have been there at least four days).

    So I don't understand. If he was billed $2,800 total, that's less than half of what it would have been had you talked for the agreed on two hours per day for four days. In fact it appears that the bill was for one hour per day, which is what you say is the time you were talking each time before the line went dead.

    It could be that the use of triclosan in soap has a different risk-vs-reward profile than its use in toothpaste:

    Dr. Bruce D. Hammock, for example, runs the Laboratory of Pesticide and Biotechnology at UC Davis and was one of the investigators involved in the study on triclosan and triclocarban. “There are real risks to triclosan,” Hammock says. “And there are real benefits.” He welcomes more research into its effects on the human body.

    Hammock calls triclosan “quite a good antimicrobial” that belongs in the hospital, not on the kitchen counter. “There’s no reason for it to be there,” he says of its inclusion in hand and dish soaps.

    Toothpaste is another matter, and Hammock points out that the concentration of triclosan is low in Colgate Total, while, at the same time, the incidence of gingivitis is high enough to warrant the compound’s inclusion. Hammock adds that he is happy with his toothpaste of choice: Colgate Total.
