To the tune of Maggie’s Farm
I ain’t gonna buy mandated health insurance
No, I aint gonna buy mandated health insurance
Well, I wake up and I’m coughing
Feel my sides and moan in pain
I got declined for operations
And it’s drivin’ me insane
It’s a shame the way we treat the working poor
I ain’t gonna be insured no more.
I ain’t gonna buy mandated health insurance
No, I aint gonna buy mandated health insurance
Well, it hands you a nickel
That costs you a dime
It’ll charge you once
And then two or three more times
Then they fine you every time you slam the door
I ain’t gonna be insured no more.
I ain’t gonna buy mandated health insurance
No, I aint gonna buy mandated health insurance
The premiums double
While the co-payments rise
Coverage narrows
The best customer dies
Before costing the company any more
I ain’t gonna be insured no more.
I ain’t gonna buy mandated health insurance
No, I aint gonna buy mandated health insurance
Well, the insurance company servants
Now run our government
Everybody else
Helps pay the public rent
No Medicare if you’re only sixty-four
I ain’t gonna be insured no more.
I ain’t gonna buy mandated health insurance
No, I aint gonna buy mandated health insurance
Well, I try my best
To be happy all day
But everybody wants to
Turn into a slave
They say sing and whistle while you do your chores
I ain’t gonna be insured no more.
