Who Really Needs A "Blue Cross"?
(America's private health insurance racket)

Money alone doesn't buy health insurance
If you lack an employer that you're buying it through.
First you must demonstrate that you don't need it
So it won't cost your "Blue Cross" if it insures you.

Can you guarantee no conditions exist
That might cause your private insurer to pay
Doctors or hospitals on your behalf
For diseases or injuries that won't just go away?

Unless you assure them you're perfectly healthy
And know of no reason why you won't remain so,
America's private insurers don't want you,
Or your business. You're being left with no place to go.

"Insurance" protects us against some adversities,
But not always from these private insurers.
If they can imagine a black cat in your future,
They're not interested in your feeling securer.

As Congress' employer let's drop group insurance
Where they get a discount for buying in bulk.
Let's give each the money to try to buy privately,
Then as they're denied watch the idiots sulk.
