<div><p>LOS ANGELES, Jan 2 - (Reuters) - Influential conservative U.S. radio host Rush Limbaugh said on Friday doctors had found nothing wrong with him after he was hospitalized this week in Hawaii with sharp chest pains.</p><p>Limbaugh, 58, underwent an angiogram, or an imaging of the arteries and heart, to determine what caused the pain "like I have never experienced before," he said.</p><p>"They found absolutely nothing wrong. It was a blessing. No arterial disease, no coronary disease whatsoever," Limbaugh told reporters at Honolulu's Queen's Medical Center, where he was rushed on Wednesday from a nearby resort.</p><p>It was unclear when Limbaugh would return to his top-rated radio show, with 20 million listeners weekly. But he did use the news conference to take a jab at Democrats and their top policy priority -- healthcare reform that aims to give coverage to 47 million uninsured Americans and lower costs.</p><p>"Based on what happened to me here, I don't think there is one thing wrong with the American healthcare system. It is working just fine," he said.</p><p>Limbaugh, a multimillionaire, said he got no special treatment, but the staff made his stay "almost like a hotel."</p><p>(Writing by Mary Milliken; editing by Todd Eastham)</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=66225431&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
