I have had lots of sandwiches with olives in them and never found a pit. I have NEVER seen a sign saying there may be pits. I think that the question may be did the Cafeteria have such a sign. If it did I suspect that the case would not have come this far.

The issue is certainly NOT health insurance because according to the letter Little Hawk posted, the injury was not covered.

If I buy a wrapped sandwich, I expect the vendor to know his own business. I do not expect it to be hazardous and if it causes me damage It is their business to supply, safe food.
I would expect the vendor to take responsibility. A pit in a sandwich is negligence, plain and simple. Even if it is covered by insurance, my insurance company should not have to pay. I have collision insurance on my vehicles, but if you hit me, you pay.

If the Cafeteria were to settle Kucinich's medical and legal bills and if they were to either put up such a sign or use only pitted olives. I would think that would be fair.
