CONCORD, New Hampshire (The Adobo Chronicles)- The campaign trail is proving to be grueling for Senator Ted Cruz, Republican presidential candidate.

After giving a speech before college students in New Hamphire, he complained about a mild headache and blurred vision, prompting his campaign staff to call the paramedics.

He was taken on an ambulance to a nearby private hospital. There, Emergency Room nurses took his blood pressure reading,  gave him an EKG test, was given an aspirin, then rolled him into a private room reserved for VIP patients.  He was hooked up to an oxygen machine and was administered a liquid infusion as a preventive measure for dehydration.

Three of the hospital’s top doctors took turns in evaluating his condition. Complete blood and urine tests were administered.

Cruz then went through a chest x-ray and then a full-body CT scan.

As a precautionary measure, doctors recommended an emergency colonoscopy which was immediately performed.

When the senator recovered from sedation, the hospital’s chief doctor was at his bedside to deliver the news:  ‘You’re fine, just a little fatigue.  We can now release you.”

On his way out, he dropped by the hospital’s accounts payable department to settle his bill.

To his surprise, the hospital staff told him his total bill was zero, and that it’s been fully paid for.

“By whom?” the senator asked.

“By your health insurance, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas,” he was told.

It was ironic that just minutes before he was rushed to the E.R., Cruz he told a campaign audience that he had no health insurance because President Barack Obama’s health care law caused the cancellation of his coverage.
