On December 30, 2009, Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a hospital in Hawaii because of chest pains. After being admitted and running tests, he was found to have a properly functioning heart and no heart disease. This is what he said on January 1, 2010 after being released:

Limbaugh couldn't resist a few political comments in the short press conference at the hospital. He said he got the best health treatment in the world "right here in the United States of America."

Limbaugh certainly got great treatment, perhaps the best in the whole world but as a wealthy man, he could afford the best, while millions of Americans, even with health insurance cannot. He does not understand that his wealth means his health care is not rationed by income or ability to pay. It also means he will never go broke or file bankruptcy as millions will do because they can't pay their health care bills.

It is also a good thing he acknowledged that Hawaii is part of the United States of America. So many of his fans do not believe that, at least not the Hawaii Barack Obama was born in.
