O' Health Reform

(Sung to the tune of O' Christmas Tree)
O' Health Reform, O' Health Reform
How long must we await thee
Two trillion dollars counting now
Will you crash the party
The uninsured are at the gates
We're all fed up with rising rates
O' Health Reform, O' Health Reform
How long must we await thee

O' Health Reform, O' Health Reform
How brightly some have decked thee
With P4P and HIT
And someone else's money
Please give us procedures new
And send our kids the IOU
O' Health Reform, O' Health Reform
How brightly some have decked thee

O' Health Reform, O' Health Reform
Please tell us you are coming
Through the cracks in cost and care
The gravy train's still running
So what if we are getting fat
You'll find a pill for fixing that
O' Health Reform, O' Health Reform
Please tell us you are coming

O' Health Reform, O' Health Reform
Some things are never changing
While the ship sinks in the sea
The chairs we're rearranging
From choices there, we'll take our pick
And hope that we are never sick
O' Health Reform, O' Health Reform
Some things are never changing
