Anthem For A Single-Payer System*
*Sung to the tune of Janis Joplin’s “Mercedes Benz”
Uncle Sam, won’t you buy me, a Mercedes Benz.The Aetna guys drive Audi’s, I must make amends. Worked hard all through med school, make less than my friends. Uncle Sam, won’t you buy me, a Mercedes Benz.
Uncle Sam, won’t you buy me, a flat-screen TV. American Idol is trying to find me. I’m smarter than a banker; I’ve got my MD. Uncle Sam, won’t you buy me, a flat-screen TV.
Uncle Sam, won’t you buy me a night on the town. Big Pharma’s been busted, you’ve run them to the ground. Sold m’soul to my gov’ment, got pennies on the pound. Uncle Sam, won’t you buy me, a night on the town.
EVERYBODY!
Uncle Sam, won’t you buy me, a Mercedes Benz. The Aetna guys drive Audi’s, I must make amends. Worked hard all through med school, make less than my friends. Uncle Sam, won’t you buy me, a Mercedes Benz.
That’s it…
