COPHP2008 posted this on Youtube. I thought the tune was catchy!

Im in the hospital
Really not feelin well
Docs givin me drugs
Tellin me its all good
Gotta watch my back, man
Dont wanna drop dead
But it might be likely
Death by harm is #3
Come on kids
For all we spend
Why arent we the healthiest nation?
You better leave hospital
Lookin for a better way
The doc writin his scrips out
With the big pen
Wants eleven hundred bills
But I only got ten

Tell the doc I got pain
Says he wants to operate
Say goodbye to primary care
Now all the doctors try to scare
Too much surgery
But is it high quality
Insurance says I gotta pay
Thats health care in the USA
Look out kids
Dont end up dead
Docs on their tip toes
Lawsuits, who knows
He cuts off the wrong toes
Oops, thats just how it goes
So many under the knife
But how much do we risk our life
You dont need a medical man
To tell you how your health goes

Pay up, stay well
Its a vicious circle
Instead of getting sick again
Lets think about prevention
The ones that stay healthy
Make money, eat right
Dont smoke, are white
Inequities we will fight
Cmon kids
Lets share the wealth
To improve US health
Close the income gap
College for our children
Clean up neighborhoods
Healthier conditions
Pick new politicians
Revolutionize our system
