My 2 cents on the "controversial" issue, oh and apologies goes out to all viewers for the horrible acting in the initial skit. Thanks to my brother for participating in the initial video, I only had to get him really drunk to do it.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
As I look upon the circus, I'm dazzled by the fervor,
From a lack of understanding so through my raps I'll try to nurture,
Some perspective since it seems that its neglected,
And the debate is growing stale so I fiend to come refresh it.
All these screams of socialism like McCarthy's ghost returned,
But its been eighty seasons son since that war of cold was burned.
Some see a course of no return, slippery slope of serpent sperm,
But that's exaggermagination my spiffy wordsmith word.
Alarmist make believers always fuckin fudgin the fact,
Like many public programs isn't already somethin we have,
In centuries past fire fighters were a private force,
But society decided to buy-in so you were provided for,
When the inferno tried to come and burn yo house down,
Instead of checkin for insurance they just squirt yo house now.
And its not charity son, more like common sense,
Cuz fire spreads like a sickness when it jumps the fence!
Chorus:
You get sick, they get rich, see ya coverage droppin,
Cuz the corporate healthcare motto, is "Fuck Em, Often"
Unless you love death or seeing people stuffed in coffins,
You really shouldn't fret on the public option. (x2)
Verse 2:
Is the US the best if its worst are worst,
Off in the whole world that calls itself first?
Cuz every other developed country and even some that aren't,
Have universal healthcare and think its something smart.
I guess the US is like that kid with down syndrom,
Cuz the other around town all clown him some,
And they all enjoy what he struggles ta get,
Like that your health isn't cared for by you jugglin debt,
Suffering sweats cuz bill are enough of a threat,
To keep you away from meds, and stuck in ya bed,
Not recieving services that could save ya life,
Cuz if you did get them you would pay for life.
It isn't a way of life if its paved in strife,
And I know i'm kind of a hypocrit with the way I write,
Cuz my no insurance hasn't made me think of givin a shit,
But thats cuz next to my US is Canadian citizenship.
Chorus:
You get sick, they get rich, see ya coverage droppin,
Cuz the corporate healthcare motto, is "Fuck Em, Often"
Unless you love death or seeing people stuffed in coffins,
You really shouldn't fret on the public option. (x2)
Verse 3:
All this debate when there's already free-healthcare in the states,
Cuz they mandate hospitals help any emergency case.
But when they're done their patchwork, treating the symptom,
You find ya ass hurts, kicked to the street like a victim.
Until next week, when we see it repeatin like this one,
Guess I'm not seeing the wisdom, in keepin this system
Why's everybody so scared of free preventative care?
It costs less, stops death, that should be the end of it there.
And the fact's actually, most people want to have it free,
Even if it means raisin the rate that we taxing cheese.
But since the people don't lobby like corporations do,
No progress in Congress has ever been made for you.
Till now, cuz we seem to be on the verge of a shift,
Which is why the status quo ho's keep on stirrin up shit.
So tell ya Senator, this change's something you wish passed,
Cuz NOW's the time to light the flames up under his ass.
Chorus:
You get sick, they get rich, see ya coverage droppin,
Cuz the corporate healthcare motto, is "Fuck Em, Often"
Unless you love death or seeing people stuffed in coffins,
You really shouldn't fret on the public option. (x2)
Politics and hiphop need to get together more often. Mad respect.

Maybe in Canada this might actually "work" but here in America i'd like to keep the government and bureaucrats out of my doctors office.

In Canada, and EVERY other 1st world country in the ENTIRE world. And fyi no gov bureaucrats are in the doctor office, if there is a big difference its that hospitals don't staff a massive billing department which on average accounts for 1/3 of their budget like is customary in the US.
