She recently did an interview on Fresh Air (yesterday I think) and talks specifically about that scene with Joe Biden. Apparently she improvised a lot of it! Here's the link

I agree with this. I work in the Military Health System and he really should be contacting DOD about this bill. If they won't help, reaching out to his Congressman and/or Senators is a great way to get heard.

I'm really curious about what sort of coverage he had. Was he still active duty when he had the surgery? was he on TRICARE or TAMP?

So I didn't throw up blood, but I did get food poisoning while I had my jaws wired shut. They gave me a special tool to de-wire my jaw in an emergency, but I didn't really have time to use it. Just threw up through my teeth and that small space between your upper and lower jaws at the back of your mouth. Luckily, since I was on an all liquid diet, it wasn't chunky... Still one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life though.

Not OP (obviously) but some can, for a time. Myself included. For me, it's kinda like holding in a sneeze. It's gonna come out eventually, but I can delay it for a bit, which is useful in social situations.

I also have a pretty mild form of the disease. YMMV
