Via Breitbart, a long narrative of how everything went down in Hawaii, from the moments before the pain hit to the excruciating agony of the worst of it to the aftermath in the hospital. If you can’t spare 16+ minutes and only want the political part, skip ahead to 12:40 or so to hear him describe how he paid in cash — without saying how much it was.

In the aggregate it’s a relatively minor problem since something like 85 percent of Americans have insurance, but it’s not so minor to the individual who’s in the other 15 percent. That’s the fault line of the debate. And needless to say, it’s a very separate question from whether whatever crap is in the final ObamaCare bill will be worth passing.
