And I don’t remember him bringing this up before the debate. If it were true, you’d think he would have been touting this all during his campaign.

ZeroBama has mentioned this before, during debates with Hillary over health care.

Yes, he brought it up many times before the debate. He did ads about his mother’s death from cancer and health insurance problem in Pennsylvania during the primaries. I saw them several times.

I'd expect that a situation such as this would have been covered in one or the other of his biographies, perhaps both. I have to wonder if it was ever mentioned in either of them.

I'm uncertain as to when he wrote his books in relation to the timing of his mother's death. As far as I can tell, both books were written in the 2000's, well after his mother had died. Does anyone happen to know the initial publishing dates of his biographies and whether the circumstances regarding his mother's passing was covered in either of them?
