Time For A Change

(Tune: Home On The Range)

(Back to Nurses Strike at Northern Michigan Hospital)

1. Oh, give me a plan
For each woman and man
Where health care needs are secure.
Where never are heard
Those discouraging words:
"We can't help you 'cause
you're uninsured."
Chorus Time, time for a change.
Priorities must be arranged
So that folks everywhere
Have access to health care
And we all have a plan that's humane.
2. The sytem is ill
And we can't pay the bill.
The symptoms are growing acute.
We want to be heard,
So we're spreading the word
Of the changes we must institute.
Chorus Time, time for a cure
That serves both the rich and the poor.
Our agenda is clear
And we'll all persevere
Till the health of our nation's assured.
