Uh???

I am so confused with the Ms. Fluke situation, I have no clue what is going on. Limbaugh says she is asking taxpayers to pay for her contraceptives; but then I read that she (as a customer) was actually asking her private insurance to cover them and not the Government, which is her right as a customer to ask from a private company. But the, if it is a private business issue, I don't understand why is the Federal Government getting involved?

Then I also read that most private insurance cover Viagra, is this why medical bills are so expensive? is it because Insurers can't pay for them because the insurance pool money is being used to pay for Viagra pills?

I also read that this all started when the federal government added the free-contraceptives requirement to insurance carries as part of the Universal health care plan. I still remember during the health care debate a few years ago, Hillary Clinton was asked how the plan was going to protect itself from bankruptcy by the people who burn their livers with one Gin a day. Hillary explained that the plan's goal was to help the typical working class family who could not afford to pay for their child's cancer treatment. who could say 'no' to that? I actually think that is a very good intention. But then, what $30-month contraceptives and Viagra have to do with that noble goal? If a a person can't afford that, should not a good Socialist Government have the person's best interest in mind and force them to do something else with their spare time? like learning a job skill that would help them get a higher paid job or making them work a second job?

Power Automate: SFTP action "Test connection failed"

When I added an SFTP create file action to my Power Automate flow ( https://flow.microsoft.com ) , I got the following error in the action step, within the designer: "Test connection failed" To troubleshoot the Power Automate connection, I had to: go the Power Automate portal then "Data"->"Connections"  the sftp connection was there, I clicked on the ellipsis, and entered the connection info It turns out, that screen provides more details about the connection error. In my case, it was complaining that "SSH host key finger-print xxx format is not supported. It must be in 'MD5' format". I had provided the sha fingerprint that WinScp shows. Instead, I needed to use the MD5 version of the fingerprint. To get that, I had to run in command line (I was in a folder that had openssh in it): ssh -o FingerprintHash=md5 mysftpsite.com To get the fingerprint in MD5 format. I took the string (without the "MD5:" part of the string) and put
