Healthcare

When you take a pile of cow dung And try to make it sweet Then shove it down the people’s throat Tell them they must eat You’ve screwed up everything you’ve touched So why should we trust you now If we put our healthcare in your hands You’ll screw that up too somehow. You’ve stripped social security You’ve destroyed the U.S. Mail If you touch our freakin’ healthcare I am sure that you will fail To try and tell us it’s for our own good There really is no need Not coming from politicians Drunken bums, full of s—t and greed

i thought we were trying to GET health care the problem is he's failing in getting it. the evil have the facts there is not enough to go around. so they lie and twist and act like it's a crime and is not sound. God will be the Judge.

Some people think it is better to be under an illusion that nothing is something, than to have the actual truth of understanding that naught is nothing, I tend to agree with you. Sincerely, Moses

Vince, the system has been messed up for years. Too little too late. So unfortunate. It all began back when Nixon allowed the dirty rotten insurance companies to have such power as they do. I simply see no solutions since nobody can agree about a dang thing. thanks for reading my dieting poem, and the quip you made was funny. I have a sister who is very big. I feel bad for her; it's destroying her health. My best wishes for you to find a way to enjoy food and yet shed some pounds. LUv, Andrea

I hear you, Vince! Well said and you reflect my sentiments exactly on the "cow dung" they are trying to serve us. I don't have health insurance and I'd prefer to have none rather than pay for what Congress is offering. Perhaps they'll rethink the bill now that the message has been sent loud and clear through Scott Brown's election victory. One for my favorites, Vince! Love, Carolyn
