Annie by Saftysuit

There was a girl named Annie
She had a very pretty face
And not the way you would think so
Let me see if I can try to explain it
She had a smile, It could light up a room
And if she moved it'd be moving you
But it wasn't like a magazine
She was just plain Jane
And her name was Annie

She never looked in the mirror
She never liked what she would see
And even if I tried to tell her
She'd never listened to a word I'd say
She always wanted what she never had
But never had what she needed so badly
Someone telling her she was fine
And that's not right
And its why I'm saying

Annie don't be shy here
Annie don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don't be shy here
Annie please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself
Cause you're beautiful

I didn't know if I could tell her
I didn't know if I could make her see
She didn't need to find her beauty
She didn't need to find a way to show me
They took her moment of feeling alive
And made them moments of dying inside
She needed someone to scream her name
To take her pain and its why I'm screaming

Annie don't be shy here
Annie don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don't be shy here
Annie please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself
Cause you're beautiful

And Annie you are the one sight my eyes never tire of
Its like I cannot get enough of you
Annie you are the one song left in my symphony
Like you were made for me

Annie don't be shy here
Annie don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don't be shy here
Annie please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself
Cause you're beautiful

Annie don't be shy here
Annie don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don't be shy here
Annie please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself, I just stop myself, I just stop myself...
Cause you are beautiful
Cause you are beautiful
Cause you are beautiful

Options other than Government Health care?

For those against a government program for health care I'd like to know what options do you have for those that don't have health care, or can't afford health care, or can't get health care because of pre-existing conditions?

But lets make sure we are being accurate here.  Because the plans being talked about here aren't a government take over of all health care  That is just a smokescreen for those against it.  Its a plan that lets people keep their existing non-government plans, or if they don't' have one choose from a pool of health care options. 

So again I ask for those against it, what other options do you propose to fill in the gaps the current system has.   What options do you have for those going bankrupt because of their health needs?  What options do you have for those that can't afford health care and are sick?  What options do you have for those that have to make a choice between their next meal and health care?

To me there is only one option.  Provide the care for them.  This isn't about money, this is about peoples lives.  This is life or death for some. I repeat, this is life or death for some.  For me if its that kind of choice I will always choose life over cost. 

It seems to me that those that oppose these plans tend to be those who have health care coverage, or don't have health care issues.    I have to say to them, think about what it would be like if you were in the shoes of all those that can't afford it, who can't get coverage because of pre-existing conditions, or those that don't have it.   I wonder what they would say to the mom whose son died because she could afford health or dental care, and he died because of a simple tooth infection?

Is government health care a bad option?  Maybe.   But then show me another alternative other than what we have now.  For me this isn't a cost issue, its a morale one.  Providing coverage for everyone who needs it.
