The cost of healthcare in America is rising
and I don’t know how much higher it can go
But there’s a prescription
To make it all better
Laid out in this letter
From my HMO:
Dear Number 1036924053887
Have you considered suicide?
It’s a health care plan you prob’ly haven’t tried
Enclosed please find a tab of cyanide
For your perusal
You’re getting to an age where your potential need for medical
Attention, even intervention isn’t hypothetical
So, do it quick
And solve the nation’s health care crisis by not getting sick
Die now
Buh-bye now
Before you get one hemorrhoid older
So long
You’re no longer a
Cost-effective policy holder
Won’t you help us file your folder
In the shredder
By being just a little bit deader?
Dear Number 1036924053887
Before you take another breath
Consider the advantages of death
We’ve enclosed a lethal dose of crystal meth
For your convenience
And when you’re dead and buried, you’ll be covered, thank the POTUS
And if you’ve killed yourself already, disregard this notice
So, pretty please
Remember, don’t jerk, just squeeze
And make is easier to write these policies
For insurees who never sneeze, contract disease, get injuries, need EKG’s, have tricky knees, can’t stomach cheese or get some wheezy little cough
It’s up to you
103692...
Knock yourself off
Signed, your kindly HMO
and I don’t know how much higher it can go
But there’s a prescription
To make it all better
