Health Insurance For The Healthy
vs. searching for the FounIain of Youth

Happy with your health insurer?
    So far ev'rything is fine?
No complaints? Nor any claims
    that affect its bottom line?

But don't get sick and make a claim.
    Recision's one small Tweet away.
Sickies end up costing money.
    Healthies pay, and pay, and pay.

We've health insurance for the healthy,
    but sick insurance for the sick?
Not if private underwriters
    can successfully nitpick.

All it takes is one omission,
    acne you did not report,
On your insurance application,
    like the toad that caused the wart.

God help you if you lose your job
    and need insurance on your own.
Pray that you stay young forever,
    unlike old Ponce de León.
