It’s down to the wire, the health-care bill vote
With Heller and Collins courageously NO
Among the more moderate, Portman’s of note
Egged on by Gov. Kasich to also vote NO
McConnell is wily and has lots of dough
Some three-thirty billion to sway Senate minds
A half-dozen hold outs on which way to go
Mitch threatens and sweetens to bring them in line
The CBO score doesn’t help Mitch at all
Fifteen million lose coverage the first year alone
And co-pays and premiums climb; they don’t fall
While Medicaid cuts, for the wealthy a boon
The ACA system could much be improved
With bipartisan efforts to mend major flaws
But this Senate bill would cost lives if approved
Tell your Senators not to allow it to ever be law
