"Medicare for the Affluent?"

(May not be necessary)

How much more should playboys pay
In premiums for Medicare?
Falling from their polo ponies?
Break a leg off? Where's the spare?

Extra dry martinis poolside?
Didn't clear the diving board?
Diagnosis not that hopeful,
Looks like it's the spinal cord.

If Trump can't clear Niagara Falls,
Macy's share of bill? Quite large.
Hot air leaking? Not our problem.
Come on, R.H., cash or charge?

Though too early to have shown up,
Socialite finds she's with child,
But her General won't own up…
Stuff like that drives husbands wild.

So, how's about a limb deductible?
Replacement cost of Henry Waxman's leg?
If Waxman can't swing it on a Senator's take-home,

Shunt him to K-Street to build a nest egg.

A leg's too much? Then maybe a finger,
Pref'rably the middle, the one that they give
To the lower classes where McConnell and Boehner
Don't care if they're able to limp and still live.
