Healthcare Song

Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic
Gaggle: Seattle
Healthcare

by: Canadian Grannies
/li>

Governments are pussy-footing ‘round and ‘round the Block
Hinting here and hinting there at Privatizing talk,
At universal Medicare they’re starting now to balk,
And it’s now full speed ahead.

Get sick, You’ll make somebody richer. (3X)
It’s for-profit healthcare now.

Two-level medicine Is great if you’re on top.
Too bad that all the rest will have to wait until they drop.
Medicine’s a business that will never have to flop
And it’s now full speed ahead.

The sicker we get, the richer we will make them (3X).
It’s for-profit healthcare now.

It’s cheaper to run healthcare as a public institution;
But there’s no profit to be made, So banish that solution.
Politicians, we suspect, Have made a resolution,
And it’s now full speed ahead.

Get sick, You’ll make somebody richer. (3X)
It’s for-profit healthcare now.
