I mean, the US has saber rattled against Iran for like my entire life without going to war so it's not THAT crazy to think they might have some degree of escalation management. Even the Putin admin was fooled by American unscrupulousness and they're pretty sharp.

I used to work in revenue management for a PE backed health system (I know, I know). What is charged for services is actually just a back and forth between the provider and insurance, or how they can write off uncollectible billing through charity care, or through applications/negotiable with state Medicaid. So like, a 100k hospital stay can actually become 40k, depending on what the provider says, and this is before you ever get a bill for a fraction of that. If the objective is to make it look like tons of money is being "spent" on undocumented persons - and there is always incentive for this because it can be written off - there is a lot of spin built in even without any political motivation.
