As President Donald Trump wrapped up his first term in 2020, he signed legislation to protect Americans from surprise medical bills. “This must end,” Trump said. “We’re going to hold insurance companies and hospitals totally accountable.”

    By “we” of course, he means shareholders. So, no surprises anymore, your bill will be astronomical every time!

    “no surprise” won’t be here tomorrow

    I can’t believe they made it thru till today

    The budget cuts have left them empty and hollow

    I know in time we’ll find this is no surprise

    The hospital we used to go

    What bills will come? No one knows.

    Elon musks left us high and dry

    I know in time we’ll find this is no surprise
