Universal Healthcare Jones Lyrics

I had to get an MRI on my neck

I wore earplugs 'cause it's so noisy

I'd been a rolling rambling wreck

Limping my way from here to Boise

I got a sore shoulder and a sore knee

And I am seated most all the time

Seeing the doctor, it ain't free

Is this a business or a crime

I have a bunch of things wrong with me

And that's not counting my teeth

Just how sick can one person be

And how much shall Blue Cross bequeath

I've pretty had it with for profit medicine

I have to have more for my dime

I say the system is due for a jettison

Everybody's got to answer the chime

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

There's no denying 'cause I ain't buying

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

It's not comprehensive I'm on the defensive

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

Pre-existing conditions It's a war of attrition

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

I'm caught in a trap I'm ready to snap

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

The co-pays just keep increasing

The deductibles are higher than last year

There's a particular amount of fleecing

That are inherent in my greatest fear

Of finding myself sick and broke

After trying to pay my charges

For neck surgery that might not work

On my aching shoulder and their largesse

Where are the rewards of my coverage

Where dwells my peace of mind

When will I have a little leverage

To counter the spell of what I've signed

Can I survive without giving all

To give up my house and home

Just how far can one patient fall

To left on the streets they may roam

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

There's no denying 'cause I ain't buying

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

It's not comprehensive I'm on the defensive

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

Pre-existing conditions It's a war of attrition

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones

I'm caught in a trap I'm ready to snap

I got a Universal Healthcare Jones
