HERE'S WHAT SOME OF THE BANDS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HEALTH CARE:
"During this tour our drummer Jonas got a toothache and had to get it pulled in San Fran (true story). It costed him 1400 dollars. But what could he do? He was miserable and getting weird on pain killers (he got from strangers at clubs) trying to hold off the procedure. He was always kind of drunk on whiskey too, bumpin' around in stairwells and stuff. It's because he doesn't have health care. None of The Teeth have health care so as far as we know we're perfectly healthy. We can't afford checkups so we'll never know really. I could be rotting on the inside for all I know."
-Aaron MoDavis - The Teeth
"What is most important in our life/It's health!!/If we don't have health/We can't eat, walk, dance, sleep and Dream/We have to think about health more/It's not difficult/Let's start with the first step/Just smile with us/What a health!/Super health!"
-Peelander-Z From their song "Super Health"
"Once, I woke up in an ambulance and the guy said it's alright. I woke up again in the hospital and they said don't worry about it. Apparently, I fell down and hit my head. It wasn't a big deal but they made it one. I had a bump on the noggin and a little blood on my head. They dumped me out on the street at 5AM with a paper that said I was intoxicated and they gave me a MRI and a tetanus shot. Apparently I owe them $4500 for their services. But fuck that! I didn't ask for shit!"
-Brian Asbury of The Teeth
"America sucks dude. Sorry but when it comes to that issue, step it up. Health care for the rich, that's pretty much my impression of what's happening. I don't have health care. I smashed my front tooth out when I was riding a bicycle last year. That was kind of bad and I just kind of had to suck it up. I basically ran into this gutter and my friends found me in a Jesus Christ pose lying face down on the concrete with blood spilling out of my head. I didn't have any cuts on me except for my face so I ran right on to my face. It was about a week before I left on tour."
