Healthcare Reformed

After his sentence of four to serve
Will we be better for having known you?

A trillion point four is a whole heap
More than this mind can compute
Prison or healthcare 
Weighing in the balance

Do we really want to make laws that make criminals out of our citizens for money 
issues?

But don't we pay for it personally or publicly? I have no sympathy for governments ... I say let them pay ... otherwise we will have to pay, and the money will be given to rich bankers again ... and who will protest that. The bankers rich think they can fool us all the while to cry for them, love ... great write. One love.

Healthcare is such a wide topic, and I find it interesting that you choose the one person who pushed it forward to be your subject. Thanks for posting the poem, enjoyed it!
