A Healthcare Wish List for Santa

I wrote a little song for all of you for Christmas.

Won’t you sing along with me? (Click on the song title for music – I apologize for the crappy sound quality, but it’s the best my 13 year old nephew producer and I could create at 10 pm on Christmas night.)

Happy Holidays to all!

Santa Baby

Santa baby, if you can fit it under the tree, for me
We need a national healthcare policy
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, Universal coverage costs a lot, but why not?
While you’re at it keep the premiums low,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Pay whenever we are ill
Pay for every shot and every pill
Next year it could be twice as much
But I know that you can foot the bill

Santa Baby, our healthcare outcomes should be the best, the rest
Of the world should learn from us, not us from them,
Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa honey, one little thing we really need for sure, a cure
For cancer and for chronic disease
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, if you decide to keep Medicare, No fair
Unless you pay the doctors what they’re worth,
Santa Cutie, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

One more task you can perform
Malpractice is in need of a major reform
I know you want it even if we don’t
And you can make it better even if we won’t.

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, please bring,
A President who’ll listen to science
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, down the chimney tonight!
