Add a dynastic rule called “Poverty” with the following text:
An Unseated Player who has less than $50 is called a Poor Player. Poor Players may not become Seated.
There is an entity called “Uncle Sam” who has his own row in the GNDT.
Whenever a Seated Player wins a positive amount from the Pot or any Side Pots, 5% (rounded up) of their total winnings is transferred to Uncle Sam instead of the Seated Player. This is called being “taxed”.
Any Player may at any time transfer a positive amount of money (not to exceed their current amount) to Uncle Sam. This is called “giving generously”.
If Uncle Sam has at least $40, any Poor, Wounded Player who has not done so in the past 24 hours may use $40 of Uncle Sam’s money to go to the doctor (see rule “Doctor”) instead of using his own money.
As a daily action, any Poor Player may transfer a positive amount of money (not to exceed Uncle Sam’s current amount or $10 or the amount of money that would put the Player at exactly $50, whichever is the smallest) from Uncle Sam to himself.

Busy GNDT this round.
Might be more fun if we could tip the piano player, then rob him if out of money {:0p
