Them out into the community and then you dont track their results out in the private sector or if you send them out and there are no providers in the private sector, we really have just kind of traded the devil for the witch. We havent solved the problem. I very much appreciate that, congress woman. I want to be clear about one thing. I wasnt suggesting we would send primary care providers to camp for three weeks and then they would be oggyns by any stretch of the imagination.

Two names, widely held, dow stocks, they seem to be scrambling to reinvent themselves. I am starting with ibm. The chief executive officer made it clear, she said and i am quoting, she said they are not back sitting hardware. They are staying with hardware. That is not much of a reinvention.
