Blue Cross Madams and Their Hookers
Who's hooking who?

Each operates behind closed doors
    and deals with many well trained whores.
But must a madam's profits be that large?
What commission should she make?
    What percentage should she rake
From the top of what her doctors charge?

Has there been coercion,
    any Cheney-like submersion,
That's allowed her to remain a madam all these years.
She's certainly methodical,
    some say diabolical,
In the way she plays upon and profits from our fears.

Her pitch is that catastrophe
    will result from our ennui
And failure to provide for rainy days.
That it has succeeded
    is a hint it's needed.
But should her bonus be couturiers?

There must have been coercion,
    some Cheney-like submersion,
That's allowed her to remain a madam all these years.
She's certainly methodical,
    even diabolical,
In the way she plays upon and profits from our fears.

Without a proper public option
    we'll put Mom up for adoption.
For ev'ry Blue Cross madam finds
    her hookers charging more
For that extra diagnosis
    and that guaranteed prognosis
Of added profits for Madam and whore.

Of course there's been coercion,
    and Cheney-like submersion,
That's allowed her to remain a madam all these years.
Because she's so methodical
    at being diabolical?
Her whores are letting people die
    while Madam profiteers.
