Story behind the song
Health care in this country is in a sorry state....this is my own cynical take of what's been happening here for years.
Lyrics
PRE-EXISTING CONDITION
My boss called me in the other day,
He said, "listen here, I got somethin' to say.
Sorry man, this ain't gonna please ya,
Your position's been outsourced to Indonesia."
I said, "wait a minute, I got a family of three,
A wife and child dependin' on me,
I need my salary and benefits too!"
He says, "sorry, dude. It ain't about you.
Overseas the company gets an army of men,
Women and their children, and all of their friends,
To work all day and night for half of your pay,
And they don't have a union to ruin our day."
I was getting' worried 'bout the medical health,
Of my wife and kid, and for my own self,
So I called up my insurance, said I'd gotten the ax,
How much is my premium, please add on the tax,
The lady says, "Insurance? Don't even apply,
You've got a pre-existing condition, you're gonna die!"
Hydrochlorathiazide's the stuff I'm on,
I needed to get a refill, my prescription is gone,
The lady at the drugstore, says as nice as can be,
"Your insurance has been cancelled, and this stuff isn't free."
I said "without insurance, the price is to high,
I've got a pre-existing condition, I'm gonna die!"
You can get insurance for as long as you please,
If you got the money, and you've got no disease,
But somethin' everybody needs to hear in this land,
If you're sick or poor, if you get canned,
Some restrictions may apply,
You've got a pre-existing condition, you're gonna die.
