The Sound Of Moolah

Last night, I saw "The Sound of Moolah", a puppet musical about health care reform. It was presented by the Single-Payer Players. Which includes my primary health provider, Corinne Frugoni, who works at UIHS. Here is the first scene:



It was an amusing tale that included lyrics set the same tune of "My Favorite Things", such as:

We don't pay for health care, just erections,
You're canceled; you didn't say you'd had yeast infections
We put you on hold when the telephone rings
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When you are feeling bad
I simply remember my favorite things
And you have to pay the tab. Owwww

After the musical puppetry, the players urged the audience to call 1-866-338-1015 and express support for replacing the language in HR 3200 with the language of HR 676.

They also urged the audience to support SB 810: The California Universal Healthcare Act.
