WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)The middle-school student who wrote the Republican health-care bill that was unveiled earlier in the week complained on Friday that he still has not been paid for his work.

Kevin Tenco, a seventh grader from House Speaker Paul Ryans congressional district, in Wisconsin, said that Ryan hired him two weeks ago to write the American Health Care Act with the promise that it wouldnt be too much work and that he would be paid handsomely for his effort.

He said I would get paid, like, five hundred dollars, and I could buy a Nintendo Switch, Tenco said.

Taking Ryan at his word, the thirteen-year-old, from Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, pulled several all-nighters to complete the health-care bill in time for its Monday unveiling.

I basically went to the Wikipedia page for Obamacare, cut and pasted a bunch of stuff and then threw in some tax cuts and whatnot, he said. It doesnt sound like a lot of work, but I was super tired by the end of it.

According to Tenco, Ryans failure to pay him in a timely fashion for writing the American Health Care Act has left him feeling really bad about our government.

I was all set to write an immigration reform bill for Congressman Ryan, but now theres no way, he said.
