Ben Shapiro Eviscerates Jimmy Kimmel’s Health Care Tirades; ‘Egregious’ to Exploit His Son

“Because of the merge of entertainment and politics, we’ve basically said that those hearts are the fullest, we’re just going to grant that their brains are also fullest. I don’t think that that’s necessarily true,” Shapiro argued at one point in the 20-minute-plus takedown.

Shapiro brought up the fact that, like Kimmel’s son, his daughter needed heart surgery so she was treated by the same doctor (Vaughn Starnes) at the same hospital (Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles). He also noted that this hospital is a charity hospital with a massive endowment, so children that Kimmel claims have been denied care actually do receive it.

That being said, Shapiro explained “exploit that to talk about insurance because I don’t think that personal narrative is nearly as important as making good public policy decisions.”

Jimmy Kimmel is an agitated instigator who likes to provoke “fights” because he knows that he himself is in no physical danger. He has to be careful not to make a mistake in the wrong situation.

I don’t know enough about Kimmel’s situation,but it is sick to inject your kid into contentious politics. I also think much of his story is embellishment. Maybe he’s pissed that his insurance from the Screen Actors Guild sucks. He actually thinks Kenyan Care would be more beneficial to his kid’s PRE-condition,treatment and recovery?

His child needed medical care..she got the best on the planet, which is not available to obamacare patients. Then he went on to say that evil Trump wanted to take away his childs medical care.

As I said..he lied his child receive care not available to anyone with obamacare.

Kimmel makes $8 a year, yes? And he’s a member of SAG, which has union medical benefits, at a premium amount of about $250-$350 Per Quarter.

What is his problem?

I’m an actor. SAG-AFTRA has really good health insurance for people who qualify. And Kimmel qualifies for the best plan SAG-AFTRA offers. I have no idea what he’s crying about. He for one would never ever use Obamacare. I doubt any actor would take Obamacare over SAG-AFTRA. None....
