Our health system’s so bad that the man who shot a CEO

of United Health Insurance is now a folk hero!

Med-i-care for All(pause) That’s what we all seek.

It will cover ev’ry-thing, like long-term care and teeth. (grin & show teeth)

More than fif-ty nine trill-ion is what we pay right now!

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.

There will be no more co-pays or out-of-poc-ket costs!

Our health-care will be fund-ed and not a pen-ny lost!

Mon-ey we’ll no long-er pay in-sur-ance mid-dle-men

is great-er than the tax in-crease(pause) so in the end we win! (shout)-> YEA!!

Investors profit even more(pause) since the pan-dem-ic.

Medi-care for All will end this preying on the sick.

Slow)-> DE-MAND Med-i-care for All(pause) It’s the on-ly one!

(very slow)->End the pro-fi-teering now and COVER EV’RYONE!

(one person)-> MEDI-CARE FOR ALL!

The Grannies have left the building!
