Since you seem so desperate, CowMan--

I don't think this is what you're loooking for, but Skip James does a song called either Sickbed Blues or Washington DC Hospital Center Blues. The refrain is something like, "Cause I'se a poor man, but I'se a good man, you understand." The song deals with the difficulty of getting decent medical care if you're poor, and is as relevant today as it was when he sang it in the 30's.
