  • This is great Bill! Whenever I see people having bake sales and car washes to raise money for people who have cancer or some other illness I always want to say to them to take their signs and their car wash /bake sale items and do it in front of the health insurance building in protest. Americans have become so passive to corporations and anyone who fights them is considered a "lefty" as if that's a bad thing. GOOD WORK BACKBONE!

  • READ SCRIPT COMMENTS from bottom entry up.

  • MUSIC UP BEAT BACK COUNT

    To the tune of the Rocky Horror Picture Show song Time Warp

    The only solution thats left

    Despite the lies from the right

    And if we all get hip

    We can win this fight

    Health Care is a Hu-man - Right

    Insurance is a Pai-ai-ai-I-Ain

    Single payer health care Today!

    Single payer health care Today!

  • "The Nightmare must end!

    Its Time for a Single Payer system and for OUR elected representatives to JUST SAY NO! to more market-based, doomed-to-fail, boondoggles. Only the single-payer can guarantee the human right of healthcare is not denied to any American."

    Meanwhile the Insurance industry is spending 1.6 million a day to defeat real reform. Corporations are spending madly to addle Americans' minds with lies in the media, so they can continue impoverishishing the middle class and denying dignified care to the poor-

    all this by baiting & hobbling our elected representatives with campaign contributions

    Politician THATS Change I can believe in!

    "Americans need Healthcare NOT Insurance Bureaucracy, Bills, and Bankruptcy!"

  • Another Regence Patient was given a prescription for pain medication, but Regence told her she had to take something else

    Meanwhile premiums go up and Executives take Giant bonuses

    How is this Taking care of People?

    Music up for continued scramble

  • Count: OH I AM So Thirsty (Sucking sound)

    MUSIC CUE Bureaucracy Music

    DR is trying to get to the Patients and Uncle Sam while the Industry/Lobbyists are sucking blood/money from them and getting between the patients and the doctor.

    Music lull #1:

    As You see the insurance companies are already between you and your DR.

    A dying Regence customers DR said she needed an organ transplant, but Regence said NO until embarrassed and pressured by a campaign to save her life.

  • CITIZENS: But when your sick You need a Doctor!

    (Enter other patients )

    PATIENTS CHORUS:

    Were sick too We Need Healthcare NOW!

    ENTER DR: Im a Doctor. I Can Help!

    Count blocks Dr. (she repeats entrance attempts)

    COUNT - NO - NO You MUST go through Me First

    DR But they need help And youre only getting in the WAY.

    COUNT THIS IS THE WAY! My Minions will see you now.

    ENTER INDUSTRY CREW, LOBBYISTS armed with syringes like military guard, they hook up IV Uncle Sam

  • SCRIPT - pt 2:

    CITIZENS: How could this be? Uncle Sam Needs Help!

    Organ Music: Vampire enters Lurking

    COUNT RELAX RELAX - I CAN HELP YOU, I have a solution! Buy My Product - And if you can't afford it, we'll force the Government to buy it...MwaHaHaHa...

    CITIZENS: Are you a Doctor.?
