The Unselfish Truth

It is the harsh reality, the naked truth; people who have money are able to qualify for the right to live. There is much talk about a Government control Healthcare program being Government’s opportunity to determine who will live and who wouldn’t. As it is, there are millions of people who do not have a choice in their mortality. If they get ill, they are unable to get admission into our hospitals. People who would have once work and lost their job, thus losing healthcare also the homeless that never got on the scheme and many others.

 

The Unselfish View

 

The job I had said they will cover me

Had no idea it meant only if I remained healthy

Emergency trip to the doctor happened one day

Until then I was always okay

Now after six months in an illness they fired me

So 20 devoted years bore no importance and they no mercy

Emergency trip to the doctor five years ago

Launched me in medical complication and many people to owe

Financial security unbalanced with a nightmare diagnosis

I have some support of others but many don’t have this

So many homeless die because they have no plans on Healthcare

Hundreds of thousands of people die every year

Very many people die because they have no healthcare plan

I can’t imagine what they go through when denied a helping hand

Emergency trip to the doctor taught me something I didn’t know

Wealth controls who’ll live and who in sickness must go
