Healthcare
By Ron Olsen
When people profit from
Other people’s illness
Disease becomes more profitable
Than wellness
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon
To understand
Sickness perpetuates wealth
Free healthcare results in health
Try and move forward
Rather than back
And they’ll nail you with fear
And rail you with lies
While they pay off the doctors
And give the medical schools millions
To perpetuate
The myth of caring
