donut hole
Bite-sized fried dough
A donut hole is the small round piece of dough cut from the center of a ring-shaped donut, fried and served as a bite-sized treat.
The term is slightly paradoxical—it names what was removed, not the absence itself.
In American healthcare policy, the donut hole refers to a gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage where beneficiaries must pay more out of pocket.
