Private Insurer Concessions While reminding Christine Varney of their Antitrust immunity McCarran is our hero. No matter how you fume and fuss. Antitrust provisions, Christine, don't apply to us. But as a token of our gratitude for being left alone, To gorge ourselves repeatedly while others moan and groan, We'll stop denying coverage, if you'll force insureds to pay Whatever fees we choose to charge; then look the other way If we reject an applicant our actuaries claim Might deter our CEOs from playing Wall Street's game Of lavish perks and salaries so they can carry on When those rejected applicants have passed away and gone. And if you'll tell all uninsureds they must become insured, We'll see about extending waits some claimants have endured. So, God forbid, some pass away before we write their check, We'll notify their heirs that they are running neck and neck With others who were waiting long before you saw the need For srong campaign finance reform so you can intercede.
