If you’re going to quote the article, I think it’s important to include context. So let’s broaden your article quote (that is, the article is quoting someone else) just a smidge:

“Medicare payment rates, which reimburse below the cost of care, should not be held as a standard benchmark for hospital prices,” said Melinda Hatton, general counsel for the American Hospital Association, AN INDUSTRY TRADE GROUP, in an emailed statement. [emphasis mine]

You claim that the quoted statement is more accurate / truthful than the statement that private insurers pay more than the Medicare rate, and seem to imply that the Times’ reporting is biased. Did I get that right?

Would you like to furnish some support for those claims?

For iOS, I'm currently checking out Hiya Caller ID and Block by Hiya https://appsto.re/us/cXg16.i

I've had it installed for about an hour now and indeed have not received a single spam call. Experiment at your own discretion.

Sometimes those who are most in need of this wisdom are least willing to accept it in its traditional forms.

Presenting mindfulness in a form that can reach the people who are not easily moved by the older forms of "evangelism" (e.g. monks living in poverty in a monastery, doing good works in their community) seems to me like a highly worthwhile pursuit.

[EDIT] ... yes, even if the concealed motive is to sell copies of yet another book about mindfulness.

Um ... you might want to try `p4 help shelve` first. Shelved changelists are basically the same as a "git stash" - but they're stored on the server, so other developers on your team can review a changelist before you actually submit it. One of my favorite Perforce features, actually.

... and US coders are wondering why companies are so eagerly offshoring their jobs. No tariffs or import duties on foreign-made software. Unlike produce, code doesn't even spoil in transit! (although there is evidence to believe specifications might)
