Summer of ‘17
We got our first repeal passed
In Congress 115
It optimized age-based tax credits
Was the summer of '17
Paul and some guys from House
Had a plan and they tried real hard.
Senate slipped, Donald called it ‘mean’
We should've known it never get far
Oh, when we look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if we did the math
Yeah, we wouldn’t say sabotage
Those were the ACA’s best days
Ain't no use in debating
Yeah, when markets have improved
More subsidized enrollees each year
And insurers back too, yeah
Standin' on the Senate floor
John told us ACA forever
Oh, and we already knew
It wasn’t now or never
Those were the ACA best days
Oh, yeah.
Back in the summer of '17, oh.
Man we were scoffing CW
We were thinking flex and short-term
We needed to kill CSRs
I guess nothin' can stop Trumpcare, Trumpcare, no! yeah!
And now risk pools are changin'
Record popularity and premiums coming down
Sometimes when I read old news clippings
I think of Schumer, wonder what he says now
Standin' on the Senate floor
John told us ACA forever
Oh, and we already knew
It wasn’t now or never
Those were the ACA’s best days
Oh, yeah.
Back in the summer of '17, oh.
It was the summer of '17, oh, yeah.
Me and my red pill in '17, oh.
It was the summer, the summer, the summer of '17, yeah.
