Last
week, country-western stars Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood sang a little tribute
to the on-going disaster that is Obamacare. We thought we would check in with
Johnny Cash and see if he had any song to sign on the subject. He said there was in fact a certain song that
had been creeping and crawling around his head, and it goes like this:
(To
the tune of Folsom Prison Blues)
I
hear the train wreck coming,
it’s
rollin’ round the bend,
and I
don’t see it workin’ ‘til I don’t know when.
I’m
stuck in Healthcare website,
and time
keeps draggin’ on.
But
that train wreck keeps a rollin’
on down
to San Antone
When
I was just a baby, my momma told me “Son,
always
have insurance, don’t ever go it alone.”
But
when I got that cancellation letter,
I
just wanted to die.
And
now I get that error message,
I
hang my head and cry.
I bet
there’s politicians gettin’ fancy insurance plans.
They’re
probably gettin’ covered for everything they need.
Well
I know I had it comin’ …
no
insurance for free.
But
those pols get their exemptions,
and
that’s what tortures me.
Well
if they freed me from healthcare prison
and my
old health plan was mine
I bet
I’d move it on a little further down the line,
far from
healthcare prison.
That’s
where I want to stay.
And I’d
let my old healthcare plan
blow my
blues away
