1. Well said. 2. I am not sure. My best guess, if her testimony indeed uses the number, is that this is the cost of treating endometriosis for that patient. It does seem a bit high for oral contraceptives alone. More likely it's a different but related number, like a couple of specialist visits and possibly a minor procedure or an ultrasound. Most likely Fluke did say exactly that, and Rush conflated -- as in, if it cost $1000 to treat endometriosis, and oral contraceptives are being used to treat endometriosis, then the cost of the oral contraceptives must be $1000. I mean... isn't it always something like that, when Sam is channeling Rush?
3. I am seeing $5 to $30 as a co-pay when I Google "cost of oral contraceptives". I suggest that anyone who actually needs to know what it is give a call to Walgreen's. But a $30 copay suggests a retail price in the 70s so that $1000 be that high after all. On Sun, Mar 4, 2012 at 9:04 AM, PT <cft...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It's probably time to ignore Sam.
