A health care folk song
YOU GOT THOSE FOR PROFIT HOSPITAL BLUES
Medicine's a business just like everything else
Doing good for others, don't kid yourself
There's what people think, there's what we know
We save some lives and the shareholder's dough
Now we work for our patients all over the land
But in the end their outcome is in God's hands
Keep costs down, keep employees in line
Focus on getting the patients last dime
Now that's what I call a business plan
Taking one last test on a dying man.

So true. Is this a real song?
It's a real song because I wrote it. It was the week when I was stuck with the challenging decision of whether to leave my father being tortured in the hospital or move him into a hospice peaceful death. At the time I had a country and western tune in my mind that was attached to it, but don't recall it at the moment. Thanks for the comment, John
