Unlimited profit and healthcare for all will never work together.
Healthcare for the People By Franklin Price 3/25/2017 Healthcare for the people Is what we need to see Not corporately aligning Just taking care of you and me Not bowing to insurance While enriching CEO's We're dying without healthcare As their selfish money grows Capitalism is important It is much of who we are Healthcare premiums too expensive For bigger homes and yachts and cars For the health insurance moguls Who love dollars more than you They must make a lot of profit In everything they do Every group priced separately Even down to one or two If illness or disease strikes out It's you who pays for you The cost of health insurance Could be diminished quite a lot If the insured put in larger groups To mix the healthy and the not Then limit percent of profit For all the health insurance need Base the premiums on the newer mix Healthcare for all and not for greed If the moguls do not like it And think the profit's not enough Cover all who want by medicare Let the greedy see it's tough Let them raise the premiums On the richest that are left The ones who can afford it Not the ones who think it's theft.

Good write, good subject Franklin. A lot more bad ones than good ones at the top. Enjoyed reading.
