Top Photo: Michael Herbert of Nancy Pelosi's staff is questioned by a doctor (off camera) as a nurse gives him a yellow card with her message to the boss. Support Single Payer Healthcare for the Nation!

Since the Raging Grannies and their allies in the movement for Single Payer couldn't get an audience with Nancy Pelosi, they floodedd one of her staffers with questions, songs, and skits.


#1 My Pharmacy's Over the Border (tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)

My pharmacy's over the border -- I can't afford medicine here
They're talking reform now in Congress -- So far it looks rocky we fear!

chorus:
Healthcare, healthcare, We need single payer health care, right now!
Healthcare, healthcare, We need single payer health care!

The FOR-profit BIG boys are nervous -- they see there is gonna be change
They say that reform is just dandy -- so long as they dictate the range

chorus

They hog all the space at the table -- And lock Single-Payer folks out
And when they pro-TEST they arrest them -- Cuz PRO-fit is what it's about!

chorus

So call up your members of congress -- And tell them to listen to you
A public plan with private choices -- Ef-FI-ciency and savings too

...but she plays one on stage and screen! Susan on the right is a real nurse who came from Sacramento to support HR 676.
§Granny Gail and a nurse friend give staffer an earful...
