For Want of Health Care a Country Was Lost

Healthy child
Healthy family
Healthy country.

Sick child
Tormented family
Citizens in trouble.

Families deprived
While others gorge 
Country in trouble.

Health of a country
Is more important than outrageous corporate profits 
Or the rich getting richer 

Not too difficult to understand
People need affordable health care.
Republican politicians, what is it you don’t get?
