   thanks for sharing this, hope it brings a smile to everyone who’s gone through or going through or helping someone go through cancer treatment.

   Thanks for a smile on a day when we could use it.

   You are all most welcome! (And, Elliott, I did reconsider.)

   We really need something like this for health care reform.

   Are there amongst the Fire Pups a choreographer, a lyricist, and a song writer? Or perhaps those with very few degrees of separation from the same?

  so glad you did :)

  We need competition
  Writing’s on the wall
  We need the public option
  Help us heed the call
  Sixty years of maybes
  We have a bill at last
  Seven months of roadblocks
  But we can get this passed.

  When you believe in things
  That you don’t understand
  Then you suffer
  Public Option is the way

  Reconciliation
  Filibuster proof
  Rids us of the problem
  Do all you can do
  Keep me here for Christmas
  Keep me all night long
  If you want to save me
  Keep me going strong

  When you believe in things
  That you don’t understand
  Then you suffer
  Public Option is the way

  We need competition
  Nothin’ more to say
  Give us the public option
  Or there’ll be hell to pay
  Ben, Joe, Blanche and Mary
  Read the public polls
  The voters will remember
  How you cast your votes

  When you believe in things
  That you don’t understand
  Then you suffer
  Public Option is the way

  That’s really great, MrWhy!

  Now we just need a tune, choreography, some dancers and a videographer.

  DFHs will recognize this as a rewrite of Stevie Wonder’s Superstition.

  Thanks for that MrWhy!

  I am so literal-minded sometimes that I see only the words! So, we have a tune, too!

   Happy smiles from me to all of you!

   Thank you Karen for posting this. I am a former nurse and can say from first hand experience that the majority of those in the trenches, so to speak, of care are dedicated, committed and compassionate people. Unfortunately, the system we have often ties our hands. Thanks for the smile. Just a thought… maybe a contest for lyrics and music submitted would get you what “we really need for health care reform”.
• KarenM November 23rd, 2009 at 6:28 pm «

  You’re welcome, walkinboots!

  I completely agree with you about the system. It is rarely structured for patients or their caregivers, but nearly always for administrative purposes or financial ends.

  And thanks for commenting, Kathryn!
