Cinco Millones (The Floor Drops)

Описание: Source: NPR — https://www.npr.org/2026/05/19/nx-s1-...

Steep drop in number of people with Affordable Care Act health coverage, analysis finds
Enrollment in Healthcare.gov and the other marketplaces is plunging by 5 million, the new paper from KFF finds. Last year, Congress failed to make a deal to keep the coverage more affordable.

Gracias, Miku. Sun is coming up over the valley, appreciate you keeping us ready for the day. Let's get to work.

[Verse 1]
Five million names just wiped off the roll
Healthcare dot gov taking back what they sold
They let the subsidies die, let the prices rise
While we're doing the math with tired eyes
They had the deadline on the floor to make a simple deal
To keep the coverage affordable, to keep the safety real
But the politicians let it die, packed up and went home
And left five million working families out here on their own.

[Chorus]

When your body is the engine, when your hands are how you eat
Taking away the doctor is taking away the street
It's a tightrope walk, no safety net below
Just the math at the kitchen table, nowhere else to go
Cinco millones, left out in the cold.

[Verse 2]

The guy on the roof and the girl on the line
We tell our own bodies we are going to be fine
I see the men outside the depot weighing the cost
Between a lingering cough and the wages lost
It ain't an abstract column on a spreadsheet screen
It's looking at your kid and wondering what a fever means
They balance the federal budget on the back of our fear
While the politicians pretend not to hear.

[Bridge]

They measure our lives by the pennies they spent
While we build the city and pour the cement
They never had to choose between the medicine and rent
While their own congressional healthcare covers whatever they do.
We see exactly who dropped the pen.

[Chorus]

When your body is the engine, when your hands are how you eat
Taking away the doctor is taking away the street
It's a tightrope walk, no safety net below
Just the math at the kitchen table, nowhere else to go
Cinco millones, left out in the cold.

[Outro]
The work does not stop.
We show up anyway.
But we see exactly who took it away.
Yeah, we see you.
