Doctor My Ears: My Top Ten Songs Prescribed to Get You Through the Current Health Care Debate


?>

The forces of evil now appear to be firmly focused on turning President Obama's attempt to reform our health care into his personal Waterloo. So let those mean-spirited bastards have "Waterloo" -- and all the other Abba tunes for the time being.

In the meantime, let me write you all a prescription for my own totally Abba-free, homeopathic playlist to help get you through our ongoing health care debate. My latest estimates are that these songs will fully cover at least 97% of Americans with decent tastes in music and health care too.


"Take Out Some Insurance" - Jimmy Reed
"Somebody Get Me A Doctor" - Van Halen
"Medicine Jar" - Paul McCartney & Wings
"Take Me Out To The Hospital" - The Replacements
"Hospital" - The Modern Lovers
"Doctor My Eyes" - The Jackson 5
"Recovery Room" - Tom Caufield
"I Don't Need No Doctor" - John Mayer
"Hospital Song" - Ben Folds Five
"Doctor Wu" - Steely Dan

Now go ahead and make me sick with your much better choices of songs that will help us all overcome our current system of "Bad Medicine."
