MEDIVAT / MEDICARE

this post 
will be brief

its just going up 
 so I can  cover 
an uncovered 
 base or two 

 every jack ass knows 
     we need to overhaul 
  the methods we use to 
provision our health system
and that we need to cover
 everyone and be fair about it 

well
 I PREDICT WE WILL SOLVE
THAT PROBLEM 
IN BUSHES SECOND TERM 

the why is obvious
 corporate America 
is tired of all the hassling 

so its just a matter of how 



 -------------------------------------------------


now of course given my out look
 I’d want the English system 
but I’d settle 
for a universal  citizens health entitlement 
   a U-CHE 
funded by a federal value added tax 
 a F- VAT 

listen up
heres the key 

what ever way we go 

 RULE ONE HAS GOT TO BE 

GET THE FUCKING 
BLOOD SUCKERS 
OUT OF THE PAYROLL  STREAM 

   pay roll should be for SSI
and unemployment  only 
period 

 not every fucking clowns 
do goodery jack off 

 ---------------------------------------------
  a vat tax
dedicated to health payments  

 yup that ought to do
 just fine for now 
so long as we 
slap it  on everything 

other upsides 
include 
 numero uno 
ending state funding  
 now croaking
 the poor  budget  sots 

lets be even better then
old  Canada dry 
  and have just 
one big Medi plan nation wide
for all citizens young old 
and in between 

we can say 
it comes to you as a 
birth right 
like fat asses
and long job  commutes


and once the funding decks
 are cleared
we can make way 
for the cost tsunami 
that will hit us right after its 
all put on the public tab 

but hell
isn’t that a crisis
 we can all get behind ?

 arise oh great nation arise
 and butcher the doctorin’ sort

fuck they’ll out stink the lawyers 
after we make a few turns on that spigot 

and it could prove to be 
 unusually anti-Semitic too 

why the doctors ?

thats real easy playmates

 face it  

Consolidated DrugKing
Hospitals R Uz 
and PharmAll inc
obviously  ain’t about
 to take
the wrath of the masses 
 on themselves 

so they ‘ll toro ohlay it
 over to those 
bright mice sized Doctorials 

boy oh boy
 are those poor double domed creeps 
 in for a nasty surprise 

as a sort of x out 
of  all the above 
i hasten to add 
 there is 
one insurmountable  
biggo stumbling block
that prevent any sort of 
clean sweep here 

its something called 

the insurance lobby 

what with all this
 H M O ing and such
  the insurance corps 
  have gottten 
way too fat
no way are they about 
  to liquidate these operations

even in the face of  fabulous
 11 digit social savings 

nope 
 our  congress 
so long on corporate  retainer
 it seems like family 
aren't that disloyal 
nope they won't stab 
their benefactors  suchly  

so you're going to see
a keep on keeping on setup
like you got with 
 the present reptilican 
senior  drug plan 

some asshole mediated
Rube Goldberg  set up 
where the payment  ball gets
tinkered to evans to fat chanced
 around 
in and out of the PROFIT sector  
just like it is now 
only more so  

well thats the price of coverage
in a land of opportunity 

  and besides
 it saves jobs
 countless jobs 
countless redundant
clerical jobs 
 
we'll have to let
time pass 
and hope 
 the profit motive
competition
consolidation 
and automation
slowly grind 
this vast shuffleupicus away 

not impossible 
right now such a grind away
is working quite nicely 
  in such sectors as   telecom
transportation  and banking 

fuck we can swing it
either way or anyway
we're loaded 

 look at Sweden
they're still rockin 
aren't they  
and we're told 
 their  gov's grabbin 
twice as much as ours    

besides 
in such matters 
of life and death 
as these are 

you got to take 
the long long view 
 
---------------------------------

by the way 

seems clear to me 
medicine
 both surgery and drug treatments  
is very fast becoming 
 the crucial  scarce and needed 
commodity sector for small fry households 

already
its joined  
  the house mortgage 
 as a  main American job whip 

 “ you got to  work
 for the man  if you expect
 to live a healthy long life ”

in oldin times
people hired themselves out 
so they wouldn’t starve
you know 
the daily bread and all 

just eatin regular 
  was the key driver to toil 
hell
it's  right in the bible 

but  the fucking
 god forsaken  future
calls for different motivators 
in the future  
we’ll hire ourselves out 
not to feed ourselves 
maybe not even to house ourselves 
but to save ourselves 
from one or other 
incurable nonpreventible
 man made plague

and comrades 
they’ll be plenty of them 
 
they won’t kill ya ofcourse
at least not fast 
and not if you can afford 
the  high priced  
containment regimens


 ok ok i hear you 
you’re wondering how 

 PINKY PAINE 
 CAN POSSIBLY 
 BE SO STUPID 

YOU’RE WONDERING 
hows this medicine as job whip 
 square with universal coverage
coming  out of the public purse
 
good good question 
it doesn’t

 unless that is 
whats covered depends 
on job attendance 
 

get my drift

shiftless people
 don’t get helped
if they sin 
and they always sin 

  you see unconditional 
medicare is history 
once we get this system in place 
and social costs start spiraling out of sight 
medicaid is gonzo
 like welfare payments 

  watch for it 
its still away down the road 
we got a few more doors 
to open and shut before then  

but right now you can 
check out 
a taste of things to come 

turn your eyes to 
  healthcare  starved
blackest  Africa 

look at 
whats up there

check out  whats  happening man 

you know shit man  
 they’re all fucking 
dying of aids over there 
thats whats happenin
 
all dying 
preventible horrible  deaths

and we're talking  
 hundreds of thousands 
 per annum here 

and all  cause
they fuck too much
and work too little 

and  sister Mary- Patrice 
 that 
 could be OUR  future too 

yep our future
 U.S. wage serfs future   
even   white folks 

 
if we keep on putting it 
  where it don’t belong 
and we will
you can bet on it 

so beware 
 especially 
  you young  kids out there 
just entering the great wage race 
 look out cause its acomin 

I’d say 
 once we get ourselves 
 a decent job qualifying
job related  family  health system 
 in place  its a done deal 

 you'll have no problem 
if you can hold that jobstake
of yours  tight enough
but brothers and sisters 
let it slip out of your hands  and ......



so  you all better
start practicing 

you know  up the stroke 
at  the   jobsite

get used to high effort levels
and long straight time hours 

and figure out how to trick up 
a little appreciation act 
a little 
this company has been
 very very good to me thing 
you know an  allegiance thing  
work on your appearance  
of company allegiance routine  
cause  
 that is guys 
thats going to be
 your row to hoe 
  if you’re planning 
to afford the proper protocols

when despite all your efforts 
you  contract 
one of  those contageous incurable 
 sin diseaes 
you’re going to expose yourself to 
 in the next 45 years or so
