The Big Swindle

House Republicans just couldn't wait

To annihilate Obamacare.

They swindled the American people,

And now the louses are walking on air.

 

They've rushed through a disastrous bill

With no hearings and no score.

The message they are sending out

Is one that's difficult to ignore.

 

Denying essential benefits

Now would be up to the state.

Older Americans also could be

Charged a much higher rate.

 

The plan for people with pre-existing

Conditions? The cutthroat Republicans gored it.

According to them, you'll be covered.

If, that is, you can afford it!

 

Millions would lose their health insurance,

But our leaders care not a jot.

That Medicaid would be gutted,

They didn't give a second thought.

 

Minimum requirements

Won't be a priority.

Those with excellent coverage

Will be in the minority.

 

The plan is NOT a health care plan.

Listen to their sales pitch.

What it all boils down to is

A huge tax break for the rich.

 

After voting on a bill

That screws millions of people, they

Had a victory celebration--

A nauseating, sickening soirée.

 

If this is the best that they can do

To make our lives better, let the truth

Mercilessly come back to haunt them

Next time in the voting booth.
