Inflation, Healthcare, and Infinity

Doctor, I'm in trouble deep,
thoughts of infinity disturb my sleep - 
and the issues of our nation,
like healthcare and inflation.

The doctor said, "just be chill"
and handed me a bill.
The "you owe" figure did inflate -
in the box, a sideways 8.

A good point in poetic form. Just don't kick the tires.

Thanks, Gershon, when I started, I was infinitesimal, so I'm making progress!
