I haven't felt something like that listening to a song since the first time my dad made me really listen to Dylan. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it For context, I still remember all the trouble my mom and grandmother had to go through after my grandfather broke his back on the job. It was t the fall that killed him, it was the pills the doctors gave him instead of the surgery that the insurance wouldn't cover. That was just too expensive, but a couple shots of morphine in the ER and a home supply was more than enough to set him down that road. They really will bleed you dry

Great job, I love this tune! Keep up the good work and don't let this movement die before we see real change in our healthcare system. For profit insurance companies have NO place in the healthcare delivery system, because the only way to make more profit is to pay for less healthcare! The simple solution to healthcare insurance - MEDICARE FOR ALL, Single Payer Not For Profit! I wouldn't be too concerned about the general public's lack of remorse in this incident. I'm sure there will be plenty of millionaire and billionaire mourners at his funeral, all secretly relieved that it wasn't them cut down on the street, as they increase their own security! I wonder what it is going to take to change their attitude toward the people of this country? As Bernie Sanders says, when 3 people control more wealth than 50% of the country, will they ever be satisfied and not want even more at our expense? When is enough, enough for them? When United Healthcare makes 22 billion dollars PROFIT in one year of others suffering and the CEO gets 10s of millions of dollars in bonuses? Is that not enough? If I was one of these billionaires stealing from the people, I would spend a LOT MORE time L@@KING over my shoulder with my head on a swivel!
