Billionaires Sing Out: Save the Status Quo!

by Profits Before People
September 22, 2009: The Billionaires for Wealthcare came to Embarcadero Center to defend Blue Cross' right to gouge the public. They formed a human shield to protect the Blue Cross Mascot and sang a song in praise of claim denial and rationing by health care industries everywhere!

They were filmed by documentary crew of The Waiting Room, upcoming expose about health care in America.

Scroll down to see photos of Billionaires in their everyday attire...for going to "the Club", yachting and golf wear. Photos by E. Moran.

#1 Let’s Save the Status Quo (to the tune of “Battle Hymn Of The Republic”)

Rejoice and let us glory in the profits we attain
By rationing the RE-medies, for suffering and pain.
And no one's gonna mess with all our monetary gain.
Let's save the status quo!

Chorus:

If our healthcare corporation, Never faces regulation, We'll be brimming with elation! Let's save the status quo!

We bought a bunch of senators and congresspeople too.
They serve our corp'rate interests
and we tell them what to do.
This gravy train will stop the day
a healthcare bill gets through!
Let's save the status quo!

Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)


A decent public option is an option we won’t bear.
And Medicare for Everyone would kill our market share.
We’ll never win the game if all the rules are just and fair.
Let's save the status quo!

Chorus: If our healthcare corporation (etc.)

In every other wealthy nation healthcare is a right.
But not here in America, no not without a fight!
We’re fighting for the right to monstrous profits day and night. Let's save the status quo!
