The Senate’s Trump-Care version was revealed at last today
It, up to now’s been under wraps; that’s Mitch McConnell’s ploy
He plans a vote next Thursday; have the House vote right away
The bill to be law-of-the-land before July the fourth
The bill proposes subsidies, the mandate to replace
This has not worked when tried before; it led to spiral death
State’s policies, the health essentials, need not be embraced
The costs go up while coverage drops; can’t pass the odor test
Perhaps, the most important flaw of this bill’s many flaws
Withdrawing near a trillion dollars out of Medicaid
To lower taxes on the wealthy. Why? Because, because …
Results: the loss of millions who just can’t afford to pay
Three fourths a billion people now of Medicaid partake
One half the country’s births are under Medicaid support
A cut of these proportions, Medicaid will them forsake
The handicap, the elderly, the children and the poor
This measure truly is unique in one important way
It is a lose-lose proposition for Republicans
We’re it to make it into law, the Reps would rue the day
And if it doesn’t pass the Reps are back where they began
For Democrats this bill must fail, it’s so draconian
Obama care is working, ‘though improvements it does need
If this bill fails, the Reps may yet become less partisan
And jointly draft the bill Trump promised stumping and in tweets
Both Reps and Dems should fight this bill, their future’s on the line
Now is the time to call, to write your Senator: vote NO!
A second chance we may not have; this is the place, the time
So, action take, it’s make or break; don’t let this bill pass GO!
