Cast Aside

The united states is home to some of the most advanced medical technology in the world, but only to those who can obtain such a luxury.
Due to privatization, nearly a quarter of the population has little to no possibility of receiving the care every being deserves.
The reality of poverty is an insufficiency to what little care is available, and that’s if you can even get past the barriers the system creates.
Healthcare is a means to further the gap between the rich and the poor, being nothing more than a product to be bought and sold as opposed to be held as the fundamental right of everyone.
The ability to heal is vital in everyone’s life and to deny that to someone because of their monetary or social status is a reflection of the deep wounds the system inflicts on man woman and child.

Outside the world of power and wealth
People survive through compromised decision
Faces not figures with loved ones, and passions
Burdened with the choice of health or starvation

The issue is so vast its hard to expose
a simple example of basic human need
No longer noble is the ability to heal,
its not just the people's, but the systems disease.

Inside the world of power and wealth
Deaf to the cries of the children in need
The figures don’t add up but their answer is simple
Suppress the symptoms but never cure the disease
