U.S Healthcare Explained Lyrics by Captain SKA

Greatest Hits

2012

[Chorus]
This is US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain
[Verse 1]
Billy was five, it sucked to be alive
Cos her mom didn't make enough bread to survive
Having to choose between food and clothes
And the drugs that stopped her wheezing episodes
Although her mama worked three hard jobs
60 hours a week, it was not enough
And they hoped and prayed
Each and every day
That they wouldn't get sick
[Chorus]
This is US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain
[Verse 2]
When Billy had just turned 23
She slipped and fell upon her knee
And as the blood drained slowly from her skin
She saw the executive's face begin to grin
Her broken bones were a pot of gold
The more she bled the more she owed
Thirty grand she would have to pay
For being poor and uninsured
[Chorus]
This is US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain (It's insane!)
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain (Leave you in pain!)
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain (Hey!)
[Verse 3]
She was the grand old age of 64
They told her she was not employed no more
And when her hacking cough got even worse
She could not afford to see the local nurse
Pneumonia's settled nicely in
With her lungs ablaze and no breath within
When the ambulance came it was far too late
For life is cheap in the United States
[Bridge – advertisement style speech]
Ask your doctor about privatised healthcare systems. Privatised healthcare systems aren't for every society, and are likely to cause: depression, anxiety, inequality and poverty. Unless patients have shares in a pharmaceutical or healthcare insurance company - in which case extreme bloating of the wallet is guaranteed. For some patients privatised healthcare will result in mediocre care, substandard care, delayed care or general lack of care. And in some cases people will die. Will die. Will die...
[Chorus]
This is US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain (It's insane!)
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain (Leave you in pain!)
US healthcare explained
It's insane (It's insane!)
In the land of the free they leave you in pain
US healthcare explained
It's insane
In the land of the free they leave you in pain (Leave you in pain!)
