Instead of fixing Obamacare,
Republicans are making it worse.
They want to play Robin Hood,
But they are playing the role in reverse.
Wanting to come to someone's rescue,
They've come up with a major switch
By robbing money from the poor
And giving that money to the rich.
Cutting Medicaid by billions
Of dollars over the next ten years
Will hurt the people who need the money
The most. The plan deserves no cheers.
To give 880 billion
Dollars in tax cuts to those with wealth
Shows that many Republicans care
More about money than people's health.
Experts predict that over a decade
Twenty-four million people will lose
Their health insurance, which is not
Very reassuring news.
As usual, the elderly
And poor will be the hardest hit.
People have to raise their voices.
We have the right to throw a fit.
So raise your fist in protest while
Ryan and his merry men
With hypocritical smiles on their faces
All come riding through the glen.
