Jimmy Kimmel Delivers Tear-Filled Plea for Obamacare After Infant Son Nearly Dies
The Daily Beast ^ | 05/02/2017 | Matt Wilstein

Jimmy Kimmel was crying before he even started talking.

“I have a story to tell about something that happened to our family last week,” the late-night host said at the top of his show Monday night. “Before I go into it, I want you to know it has a happy ending.” It’s a good thing he said that because otherwise, this 13-minute monologue would have been even more unbearable to endure.

Kimmel went on to tell his audience and viewers that this past week, his wife gave birth to a baby boy named William John Kimmel—Billy for short. Everything seemed fine at first until a nurse noticed that his heart had a murmur and his coloring wasn’t right.

Full blown bo-care would have let him die.

So you want me to believe that a celebrity making $10 million dollars a year is enrolled in ObamaCare? And that before that he had no coverage...

Kimmel does not have obamacare.

Obamacare tells you you will take the pain pill and die.

He is a lunatic with a show.

I have no idea what to make of any of this. You got people saying this new plan is sentencing infants to death, you got others saying it’s practically Soviet Russia in its scope, you got others pointing out that Congress has amended the new bill to exempt themselves from it so it must suck, but that argument’s toast b/c they exempted themselves from Obamacare, too.

What the hell is going on? Trump needs to get some messaging going or give up on this shit and let Obamacare wither and die.

Another media jerk trying to lay Obamacare on the ignorant masses, but doesn’t use Obamacare himself. FU

I really like Jimmy Kimmel. Apparently he doesn’t suffer under Obamacare like the rest of us. To be fair, he doesn’t know any better.

CrapCare did nothing for the idiot’s kid.

But CrapCare took away our preferred hospital, doctors, pediatricians, local clinics, and raised our rates by an effective 60%.

You’re an idiot, Kimmel.

I am sure he gets his healthcare from his employer ABC and not ObamaCare.

What a lying stupid jackass. We have medicaid and all emergencies were treated in hospitals. Anyone ever hear of poor newborns left to die for lack of money? Doctors always perform these services. In fact Obamacare quotas push people out of hospitals.

It has nothing to do with Obamacare...
So the media make it a story about Obamacare.
This would be a great story for an advertising inustry publication, but it has nothing to do with healthcare.

All of the media (including Mr Kimmel) makes ALL of it’s money by manipulating emotions to get people to pay too much for something.

Remember Jimmy Kimmel cried about Cecil the lion a couple years ago, when the media was pushing that story of the allegedly evil hunter? And the media invented the story that Cecil was some beloved symbol of Zimbabwe? The media made that whole thing up and Jimmy cried.

I suspect something similar is going on here. Jimmy is crying about health insurance Obamacare in particular, but he has his own health insurance. His sons issues have nothing to do with debates about Obamacare. what
