Want to pass a heath care bill? You only have to meet two criteria. 1. Tell the American people all of the details which in turn means providing lawmakers with the time to review all details of an already 1,000 page bill. But more importantly, 2. What ever the final outcome of the bill, make it law, that every member of Congress give up their current plan and make it mandatory for them to accept what their providing to the rest of the country. If it’s good enough for us, then it should be good enough for them.

A repeating pattern that might predict future prime numbers might get the NSA very worried:) Keeping the pattern from the scramble signal noise would be the next step.
the goal is to predict Primes easier

This simple statement is rather important.

A prime is a Cardinal number (1, 2, 3, 4, … infinity) which is only evenly divisible by 1 and itself.

Integers can also include zero and negative numbers
(-infinity, … -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, … infinity).

Don’t divide by zero. That’s a no no.

Divide something by 3 and the answer is going to have to be some integer
i + 0 thirds
i + 1 third
i + 2 thirds

So, I don’t see your question is being especially interesting.

5/3 is 1 + 2/3
6/3 is 2 + 0/3
7/3 is 2 + 1/3
8/3 is 2 + 2/3
9/3 is 3 + 0/3
10/3 is 3 + 1/3
11/3 is 3 + 2/3
etc.

Granted being asked if I am happy by my Dad and Sister not my Mom did piss me off are you happy is a bad question to ask someone if they think you are a disappointment to them.

OK Blub in the comments earlier today showed how the insurance companies can make cash he never gave numbers. I admit cheating people in a closed business probably is more profitable.
But if the GOP does not give us our way then how about opening America up to NAFTA Canada could sell us health insurance Mexico by mail could sell us cheap drugs.
The GOP if they had a brain better accept Obama’s deal now or we go all free enterprise on them.

That sounds similar to my understanding of the French use of private insurance.

But that would still be offensive to Insurance companies because they would be expected to, you know, pay for the private room. Right now they sell insurance to people for catastrophic care that doesn’t pay for the care. What are they going to do with those policies which cost lots and provides little, that are so profitable? Why the CEOs might have to make to with only a million or two in salary and bonuses if the current profits centers aren’t maintained because the investors would still expect, um, profits.

The people fighting so hard for the status quo, really do have a lot to lose. But unless I’m under estimating the American people this is probably a mistake. See, rioting is not unknown in America. Add to that that lots of people have gotten that burning up your own neighborhood is not as effective as burning down the Insurance Company headquarters (if you can’t find a way to the CEO’s home.)
