Battle Hymn of the Health Insurance Companies
(AKA Let's Save The Status Quo)

(to the tune of Battle Hymn Of The Republic)

Rejoice and let us glory in the profits we attain
By rationing the remedies for suffering and pain.
And no one's gonna mess with all our monetary gain.
Let's save the status quo!

Chorus:
If our healthcare corporation
Never faces regulation,
We'll be brimming with elation!
Let's save the status quo!

We bought a bunch of senators and congresspeople too.
They serve our corporate interests and we tell them what to do.
This gravy train will stop the day a healthcare bill gets through.
Let's save the status quo!

Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)

Our PR team is crackerjack. Were framing the debate!
Were spreading lots of lies and were unleashing lots of hate.
Well drive a stake into the bill the day it leaves the gate.
Let's save the status quo!

Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)

A decent public option is an option we wont bear.
And Medicare for Everyone would kill our market share.
Well never win the game if all the rules are just and fair.
Let's save the status quo!

Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)

In every other wealthy nation healthcare is a right.
But not here in America, no not without a fight!
Were fighting for the right to monstrous profits day and night.
Let's save the status quo!

Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)

  • love the billionaires--whatta way to get it across LOL!! and thanks for your work all!

  • Well, when your options are between a handfull of shitty insurance companies that exist for the sole purpose of making money, choice doesn't really matter, because you'll get screwed no matter what you do. Personally, I'd love to see us get a single payer system. The fact that 45000 people die a year due to being unable to see a doctor is just abhorrent.

    Because wouldn't a patriot want his fellow Americans to be healthy?
