Our health system’s so bad that the man who shot a CEO
of United Health Insurance is now a folk hero!

Un-der Med-i-care for All we’ll save two trill-ion… WOW !
Any poli-ti-cian who… (pause) claims it will cost more
has eith-er been bought off or their…(pause) math is worse than poor!
They tell us tax-es will rise, but here’s what they don’t say
The sav-ings we’ll get is far more than tax-es we will pay.

(one person)-> MED–I-CARE FOR ALL!
The Grannies have left the building!
