General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I think Jimmy Kimmel killed trumpuncare! [View all]I am truly amazed at some of the comments posted in this thread. Here is a guy whose wife gives birth to seemingly healthy baby boy and 45 minutes later they find out he has a heart defect that requires immediate surgery in order to save his life. Jimmy goes on TV the next night and thanks everyone who saved his boys life. He has come to Jesus moment about health insurance and he has been outspoken ever since. He had Senator Cassidy on the show and Cassidy flat out said that the bill did not remove the pre-existing condition clause or the lifetime cap clause. Kimmels read the Cassidy-Graham bill and discovered that it did remove both of those clauses.
Cassidy, Graham, Christie and Kilmead all mocked Kimmel and because Jimmy has a talk show he was able to confront them with facts as well as mock Kilmeade for being a poseur. Kimmel talked about it again last night.
Some wealthy people never stand up for what is right or what they believe in. I find it amusing that when Jimmy Kimmel takes a stand that is not a conservative position he is called a Hollywood elitists, but Chuck Norris or Tim Allen are called Patriots for their conservative views.
Finally I am a parent just like Jimmy Kimmel. My son was diagnosed with cancer when he was 4 years old and thank God I had good insurance. However after he was off treatment my company laid me off and we had to get an individual policy and it was a joke and it almost bankrupted us. I have lived this fight and believe me we need people like Jimmy Kimmel to call out the lies and liars. Sorry for the rant.
