Jimmy Kimmel on Bill Cassidy’s Health “Care” Bill
• Jimmy Kimmel on Bill C...
I am from Canada. If I lived in America I would have died when I got cancer instead I got surgery and radiation for free.
It's funny... many that get cancer in Canada come to the U.S. to get cured. I wonder why? The quality of universal healthcare goes downhill after a while... months of waiting in a long line.
+SokemRokemRobot I think it's something around 80% of canadians that receive documented care in the US is for emergent services, not even because they wanted to, just because they couldn't make it back to canada for free healthcare in time. The figure for 40/50 K leaving the country for 1, is VERY small compared to the amount that leave the us (In the millions), secondly, it doesn't account for US care, it accounts for care outside of canada, which can mean anywhere, and third, the most highly cited 'research' on canadians leaving/going to the US for care 'in droves' doesn't even ask patients or american doctors, it simply asks a relatively small group of CANADIAN doctors what they THINK their patients do, getting a percentage, and applying that percentage to the Canadian population and converting that to real numbers, which leaves around 40-50K leaving per year. *one more thing* the data is decades old.
Here's my question then. Would someone be better off waiting months for health care or getting no care because they couldn't afford it?
not true. reasons why few canadians are part of statistics receiving care in the US 1) they were in the US and cant get back in time to canada due to extenuating circumstances 2) few diagnostics and treatments are currently unavailable in Canada ie: ( tests or treatments that are experimental or pending health canada approval) 3) few canadians cant wait. CANCER is a big word. some cancers are manageable but when people hear the word they panic. it's a case to case basis.
regarding wait times, tests and treatments are managed according to urgency and outcome. when you really need it youll get it right away hence the wait times. prioritization is the key.
Talk to a Canadian and stop believing everything people tell you on TV. No one I know from Canada would give up their healthcare plan for ours.
Jimmy, thanks for calling him out and many other republicans. Thanks for standing up for what's right. Do u trust them or that liar 🤥
Wow evil is alive and well...America what do you stand for?
Wait, a Republican said they were trying to help the middle class and then screwed them to give more money to the rich? I'm so shocked.
Profit
Since day 1
only idiot sheep watch this show
Congress votes to spend on the military $700 billion, but for some reason we don't have enough money for a National Health Service. Shame!
Our military is earning it.
SokemRokemRobot How?
SokemRokemRobot
American people don't need to be healthy, they just need to be safe.
Right?
+SokemRokemRobot: No, it isn't.
+SokemRokemRobot the military paychecks are not going to go up.... have you heard of military contracting companies? Booze Hamilton, Boeing etc.? Yeah, 90% of this money would go to these contractors.
I can't believe Americans have to pay for health care, wtf do you pay taxes for then? It's obscene how America uses tax money for the military, oil companies, prisons but can't give free healthcare to their own people. Long live NHS
Zachary Van Horn healthcare in the U.K. Is free
Holly crap, this is intelligent life left on this planet!
Nah we need more tanks. Screw healthcare.
We pay taxes to the military budget that takes up 60 percent of our total tax budget.. Duhh.. Murica'. We love our military spending. lol Alot of waste here man
The US military is actually 13% of our tax budget, not 60%. Healthcare is 26%, and social security is 23%.
Feel bad for Americans who are stuck with a garbage healthcare system. I'm so grateful for NHS here in UK.
And, as I understand it, the NHS has come under continual attack from conservative politicians for some time, right? There's a pattern here...
Bubblez Beano yeah your right, they would milk it for it's worth if it wasn't so close to the heart of the British public. I'm sure they'd privatise it in a heartbeat, all they can do and what they currently doing is just running it down into the ground.
Yeah, unfortunately they are. They're trying to let in more private companies to gut it from the inside out (especially US healthcare companies who the conservative politicians will end up with lucrative board positions at these companies).
just thinking the same thing - live in New Zealand where we have a government run system as well. I don't understand why America doesn't.
Lmao it's not under attack at all
Vote it down!!!! It should be illegal for insurance companies to lobby any political person.
It should be illegal for any corporation to lobby politicians, and bribery should be made illegal.
userwhosinterestedin citizens united made it legal
userwhosinterestedin in Saudi Arabia we have free health care thanks god, I really hope u guys cab have more affordable health care 🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💜💜.
1st amendment
You also have slaves and no woman drivers
Mr. Kimmel, you're not just funny, you're an incredible human being. You could've just ignored this health care bill, it wouldn't affect you or your family. But you care enough for the average person to come out and say this. Respect!
Panchali Mukherjee he's. Greedy. He lives in a mansion
QUICK I DONT THINK U MASSAGED HIS EGO ENOUGH YET...KEEP STROKING LEFTY!!...WORSHIP YOUR IDOL MASTER!!!! lololololololo

Lol paid for by Hollywood
He's only switched to political like content just for more money and viewership
As a Canadian I feel for my brethren South of the Border. I hope that someway, somehow you all get Single Payer soon and end this ridiculous and insulting to the very decency of mankind fight.
TheGr8stManEvr but "the truth teller" (scroll up) told me, "as an insider", that you have to wait forever to see a dr... is that why your quality of life is better than ours? More "quality time" and less time in a drs office??
Jk... screw that guy
Horse Head. We Canadians make an appointment to see a doctor like anyone else. It may interest you to know that wait times for Americans in their medical system are 10 per cent longer than Canadian wait times in our medical system, and no one is screened out because they can't pay. By international standards our medical care is ranked higher than that received by Americans in their system. We have more nurses per person than Americans do, while at the same time our expenditure per capita for health care is half of what Americans spend. We outlive Americans, on average by almost three years, 81 to 78.6 years. We have more hospital beds per person than Americans do. Our rate of deaths from from heart disease is much lower than that of Americans. Death rates of children in childbirth are 75 per cent higher in the United States than in Canada. You should also know American children under five years of age die 28 per cent more often than Canadian children. The stories we hear from out of the United States on the health care system there are simply appalling.
Thank you Jimmy. Thank you.
Alex N Shut up
And Donnie Dum Dum does???

Thank you Jim, for bringing light to this nationally because most mainstream media isn’t
George's Opinion because they're scared to be too "liberal " which is garbage
George's Opinion Actually, PBS, MSNBC, and CNN are covering it. CNN and MSNBC both interviewed Senator Cassidy this morning and mentioned Jimmy Kimmel as well.
In fairness, this bill was rushed via a closed door process in only a few days after Democrats had already been discussing amendments to and improvements for the Affordable Care Act with members of congress like Senator Lamar Alexander (R) and other Republicans who, at least initially, seemed amenable to working in a bipartisan fashion together after the failure of their last bill on the Senate floor. This is nothing more than an attempt by the Trump administration and Republicans to ram through a repeal and replace bill without even a Congressional Budget Office score attached to it to allow average Americans to see what it's costs will be and how much they stand to lose in terms of coverage if it passes and becomes law. In short, from what little has been presented thus far, the Cassidy-Graham amendment will result in block grant funding to states and more power and discretion for private insurance providers.
George's Opinion are you inbred, your profile picture looks like it. Anyway, yeah...a lot of media coverage has gone on about this. Maybe you should watch the news instead of childish shows that are comdeical versions of news.
I remember when Jimmy Kimmel used to host the Man Show, very funny and i really liked him. But since he got his own late night show he has sold out his principals to be part of the Great left wing socialist Hollywood Cesspool. Rather Ugly the way he went from the political incorrect Man Show to some Mamsy Pamsy Socialist left wing hack that sold out what i think was his grounded Conservative beliefs for acceptance of the Hollywood.
We all already know this. Want to talk things not talked about. lets talk UFOS then.
Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel. This issue seriously impacts my life, health and finances right now. Best wishes to you and your son.
Don't be thankful. It affects his son, thus he speaks about it. Nothing more. I admire the ones who help without being affected personally. Real.
Good luck, Dirk. Wishing you the best and hoping for a more civilized country soon where people like you don't need to worry. It's stressful enough just suffering though illness for goodness sake.

The ACA is not perfect, but it saves lives. People who otherwise were unable to obtain coverage are getting healthcare under the ACA. Fixing the ACA should be a priority, but the GOP Congress and Trump are sabotaging it every step of the way. Universal health care (not necessarily single-payer) should be the long-term goal. Can the ACA take us to universal healthcare? Probably, if there is a bipartisan effort to do so. Some estimates put the figures at an additional 9% income tax, and 11% payroll taxes as necessary to fund universal healthcare in the USA. Providing universal healthcare for a citizenry is not "socialism" but good governance and good business sense, not to mention, as human beings, we are supposed to take care of each other. We already have a military that is the paragon of socialism. We paid for highways, and roads, and other infrastructure as a developed economy should. Universal healthcare is no more socialistic than mandating auto insurance for all drivers.
Thank you Jimmy for speaking on this subject. Healthcare is a boring but critically important aspect of America. We need to come together to fix it.
Jimmy Kimmel, you ROCK my friend! Props for speaking out brother!
CHECK OUT MY REACTION TO THE NEW IPHONE X!!
lucaspenido more pandering from celebrates. If you actually think Trump care affects this millionares private insurance, you are a fool.
wraithchild G Still on prime time and no one can do anything about it.
Speaking out on something he knows little about and even admits it. Kimmel is a puppet to his network ABC and THEY provide his health coverage... not obamacare.
I am America but grew up in Canada, from when I was 2 to 16 years old. My grandmother, legal guardian and step brother died because socialized medicine killed them. They weren't wealthy enough to come to America for ( cancer treatment, liver transplant or Alzheimer's ). Medicine was "free" (30% federal government tax GST & 15 % state tax PST). There is this thing called rationing healthcare where it's. First come first serve health. There isn't enough money to compensate doctors for treating patients thus forcing backups in the system.
This system does not work and there is a reason well off foreigners come to America for healthcare. If they can pay more, they go to the front of the line.
When will Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. John Conyers be on Jimmy Kimmel's show to discuss Medicare-for-All?
When the US turns into the socialist hell-hole they advocate for, that's when.
How is socialism a bad word?
I live in France, and just about everyone here thinks that the system, however imperfect, should in no way be removed. Improved, certainly, but it's incontestably beneficial for the country.
nicolas duthoit Socialism leads to poorer standards of living and lower quality of life.
Good call. Bring on Bernie Sanders, maybe Americans can be brought out of their dark cave of capitalist insurance gouging and see the light that the rest of us in the developed world have in health care systems. The systems in Canada and other developed countries are cheaper, more efficient, and give everyone health care whether rich or poor. Look it up.
Thebluefinest That's not the case for most countries that implemented Socialism as in Social Democracy.
What happened to Cassidy? I can guess: The Koch Brothers happened.
ted mills hey he needs those millions what about 150mill
Simple, take all that money that comes out of everyone's paycheck that goes to insurance and direct it to one common risk pool that EVERYONE pays into. Allow the government to negotiate prices and regulate profits to keep the cost down. Capitalism has no place in the healthcare industry.
lie they did not
ANN Linley
Yeah, Gerard Depardeau. Oh, what a loss.
Thanks Jimmy. As a veteran, I fought for a better America for all, not the privileged few. I admire your courage to consistently speak truth to the phonies we keep in power.
"I fought for a better America for all, not the privileged few." As another veteran, I support this message.
Thank you for your service. I have hope it will get better.
Love what you said!
Jeff Hocker you have my respects sir.
Prove it then. Post excerpts and page numbers.
I don't think I've ever made a TH-cam comment. But Jimmy, thank you for this monologue. I know you don't tend toward politics regularly, but you speak in such an eloquent, non-pretentious way about complex issues that I think you may make more of a difference than you know.
This is what American patriotism looks like. Someone with all the wealth he'll ever need standing up for the rest of us. Not because it may help his ratings (he'll probably come under attack), but because he's BEEN THERE and wants the best for his fellow Americans. This 3rd-generation Navy veteran SALUTES you, Sir. Thank you.
MUCH RESPECT TO YOU!!! Jimmy Kimmel, you're a beautiful human being! Well done! You called the Senator out (to be accountable for why he said).
Cassidy doesn't help the "all politicians lie" stereotype. I really hope that it gets shut down.
He's the poster boy for the "all politicians lie" stereotype.
Leo so why did people believe anything Hillary said? Isn't she a life long politician. If they all lie.....
a child of his holiness Harambe I said it's a stereotype. It doesn't mean they all actually do lie. Look at Bernie, he has not lied about his policies nor changed them for the longest time. Anyways when it comes to Hillary, I don't know why. There's probably a couple of reasons.
Leo Bernie in general isn't a terrible person. I do feel however that he is way too old to be an effective commander in chief. Look at Ronald Reagan. That old fart started to go mentally while still in office. Maybe had Bernie tried against bush in the 2004 elections he may have won. Past that, he is way past his prime.
a child of his holiness Harambe
Trump is a few younger than Bernie and he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Bernie has said the same message during America's decline for near 40 years and he has not left anything get past in major issues.
I think Jimmy actually spent more time coming up with this monologue than the Republicans spent coming up with this latest Healthcare bill: Tax cuts for the Top 1% . Yep. That checks all the boxes.
Well it affects him. He gets emotional.
You do realize Obamacare checked less boxes than this bill... The Graham-Cassidy Bill is far from perfect but it's better than Obama's (un)Affordable Care Act.
Nancy Pelosi didn't even read the Obamacare bill. Details details ...
Binky
Please explain how the Graham-Cassidy Bill is better than the ACA?
Jimmy thank you for standing up for America while so many corrupt politicians and moron voters are busy trying to destroy it. It is people like you that make living through this national nightmare possible. You and some others who speak out are rays of hope.
only idiot sheep watch this show
"standing up for America", and "trying to destory it"
Prone to Hysteria much? Yet another emotionally enslaved intellectual cripple.
Mystery Science Gaming 3000
But to reply to this...
Reality Hurts
Look it up instead of copy-pasting this reply. It really is as bad as he says...
Interesting to see a video on public policy getting a significant number of intelligent, sincere comments on TH-cam.
The fluffy, meaningless video clip of Colbert's opening for the Emmys, however, gets a huge number of remarkably similar complaints about Hollywood liberals and The Left not understanding real Americans and not "making America great" or whatever. It reeked of an organized effort from online "activists," but it was strangely pointless.
CD Copley If Jimmy Kimmel is your ray of hope, you are a sad, sad individual and will be sorely mistaken.
Powerful monologue
I'm surprised I'm only finding this comment now. Hey Mr. Beat
"This used to be a hell'uva good country"
nothing changed.
Das Snow Not true. I would say our standards for leaders has dropped off considerably.
You mean... "a good country" when everyone was able to live without healthcare and not whine about it? Anyone could, and still do, go to the Emergency Ward without fear of not having healthcare in order to be cared for... even if they don't have paid a personal healthcare plan.
SokemRokemRobot funny how a developing country I live in I don't even have to even worry about healthcare till I die or education until 17. Why do Americans even pay taxes indeed if they can't benefit them
+Edmund F. Kuell III, Spiritual Nutrition Master: I'm sorry, my tinfoil hat translator is not working; could you please repeat what you just said?
the bigger question is - why the hell do we have to rely on late night talk show hosts to shed light on this scam instead of the god damn congress people we elect and entrust to just do the right thing in the first place?
walawalawalt Becuase the people are sheep.
walawalawalt i would say instead of MSM who spend more times talking about Trump's latest tweets and memes while we're the only major industrial country that cant provide healthcare as a right to all its citizens.
How come everyone in MSM is not talking about bernie's medicare for all bill?
Derilection of duty is the answer to that
Apparently you're too stupid or deaf to hear the Democrats screaming at the top of their lungs about this bill. Smh at such an idiotic comment
Because our politicians don't want to shine a light on this. Only 15 dem senators stand behind Bernie and half are just doing it for the photo because they want to run for president XD
It's your fault for trusting them, I guess.
I got treated in England for an appendicitis when I was a student. I did not have to pay a single bill. I did not have to fill out any forms for insurance companies. I was even asked when I left if I could afford a taxi. I don't think healthcare can get any better than this. I was ill but the whole affair was actually not that bad. I am very thankful for the NHS. Now I am still allive and I can contribute to the NHS myself by paying taxes.
Max Maker I hope you love paying tax. The reason America can’t do that is because of too much unemployment and illegal aliens
You lie
Max Maker the debt from your country thanks you as well m8.
I had a similar situation in Brussels many years back. It was such a relief to know that my taxes (yes, I was an expatriate paying local taxes) had covered me. And for the record, gizdonk, I was making around $21,000 a year and paying about a third of that in taxes. It was a good trade.
Nope. Wrong again.
These Republican bills are outrageous and disgusting. Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel and all who are speaking out and calling their Senators to stop this horrible bill.
At least there's one tv host/comedian with a conscious. Respect Jimmy
He looks genuinely hurt. Someone went on his show and lied straight to his face.
Wouldn't you be either hurt or deeply offended? I get deeply offended when people lie to my face, thinking that I'm too stupid to figure it out.
There are a few late night tv hosts who are speaking up ( Stephen Colbert,
Bill Maher, Seth Meyers ).
Watch Trevor Noah on the Daily show to!
How do you get by day to day? President Dum Dum is up to 1000 documented lies.
When I hear about US healthcare Im so glad I live in England
It is not nearly as bad as liberals like Kimmel are sharing it is.
@bulldogsbob Bullshit. There are countless interviews with worried parents who will most definitely lose their sick children without healthcare. Even Australian current affair programs fly over to America to interview people because they're so gobsmacked that a first world country could treat it's citizens so poorly. Based on your complete lack of a cohesive argument, I'm guessing you're not a journalist or a healthcare professional - just another disgruntled voice on the internet who puts party before country.
+bulldogsbob it's not nearly as bad for someone making hundreds of thousands a year or more, and if you're a family of 4 making $75,000, you can get by pretty okay. If you're blessed with good genes and won't experience significant medical problems until they're past age 65 when you're eligible for medicare, then you're also okay. If you're an average american, one that uses medical services at LEAST once per year (not including general doctor visits) you have no money to spend at the end of the year on anything but the basics and maybe a few cell phones and a nice dinner or two for birthdays/etc, and if you're the average american, you're paying between $5000 and $10,000 a year on health care costs for your family (between premiums, copays, deductibles and out of pocket costs, and your employer is paying between $10,000 and $20,000 on top of that for the rest of your health premium.
Most people focus on the health care side of it, with people lacking insurance and hundreds of thousands going bankrupt each year because of medical bills, but we also should focus on the economic benefits and the immense savings for businesses, individuals, and families if we had universal single payer health insurance.
That spfact that you back single payer shows debate is pointless you beileve in governemnt control conservstcies don't.
I'm not intrested in based interviews form the lying media.
Thank you for doing this, Jimmy.
MikeyInsanity I like Jimmy but he's wrong on this one. It sad to see this
No don't thank you Jimmy. You don't know what your talking about.
You literally just copied the comment above you lmao.
Lajla Zimic lmfao he posted that comment 20 hours ago, the guy above posted it 6 hours ago...
Way to go, Jimmy! You are a True American Hero 🇺🇸
Man you can tell jimmy is just inches away from breaking down, especially in the beginning of this video. You can tell from his voice
Well it's affecting his son? Everyone crys when it affects them or their loved ones. Try caring for someone you don't love, with things not even related to you. People cry when dogs get hit by cars and not humans.
Das Snow that's what he's doing. You seem to have missed the point entirely.
It's *not* affecting his son, because he can afford the care. His sympathy is for the people who can't.
What about the people who have suffered because of Obamacare whereas the sympathy to them?
Kimmel's doing that for selfish reasons...not because his child or anyone else needs it. Kimmel's been bought.
He cares brah unlike Idiot inbred trumpets
Magnificent speech. This is not like deciding to buy a washing detergent of the shelf or not, this is not like deciding what features you have on your TV, it's not about left vs right or about Kimmel vs Cassidy it's LIFE VS DEATH.
Thank you so much for doing this Jimmy. It means so much to those who don't have a voice and may suffer because of this bill.
Bill Cassidy better have some good health insurance, because that was a nasty burn.
Kai Kuspa 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He has government insurances similar to single payer - on taxpayers money.
80 billion on military spending nothing for health care.America has lost its way.
No. It's around $600 billion per year not $80 billion
nightjarflying OMG
Wrong. Congress just passed a $700 billion budget for next year.
THANK YOU JIMMY we need a Voice like yours to help THANK YOU
Glad Kimmel brought this to the light TY Jimmy
Thank You Jimmy! Keep Talking About This Please!
Fricken AWESOME Jimmy. One of the best things I've ever seen on the subject. If you do nothing else for the rest of your life, you did your son proud. And thank you very much.
It ALL comes back to getting money OUT OF POLITICS. Plain and simple.
Then we should get Hollywood out of politics too. Because they are LOADED with money.
Finally someone who agrees that money should be taken out of politics because many of them, both Republican and Democratic, are bought buy big corporations, including the media. The only two I can think of who are not bought are Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
got dammit web we were about to all agree and you had to pop out with all the stupid......
And getting politics out of late night comedy.
Hillary spent over a billion. Trump spent 400 million. the big money lost this election. The only way you will get money out of politics is by separating the market and state. Corporations will always find a way to buy politicians as long as we have a market regulated by politicians. Free market is the way.
you need medicare for all.
I am so thankful that the NHS is a thing.
Ya Jimmy!!!!! Thanks for speaking up on so many people's behalf who don't have the platform to do so.
Thank you jimmy kimmel! 👏🏻👏🏻
K @nena4810
For what?
Yes, because he needs the insurance we cannot afford. He can pay for any healthcare his family gets. If he thinks ACA is so great, why doesn't he start a charity to help people pay for their healthcare bills because ACA is not affordable because the government is involved.
Kate Craig
HealthCare is not affordable because the greedy Health Insurance companies only care about profit.
For what?.... his son has free health care because the hospital that he went to (one of the best hospitals in the nation for children), only accepts donated money, and only deal with private insurance. So if you have obamacare, sorry the hospital will not cover you....
Canadians care about each other - our health care is provided to EVERYONE and paid by our tax dollars. We can go to any doctor we wish. Serious cases are given priority, but wait times for non-serious cases are minimal. I can phone and see my doctor the same day. Health care is essential for every citizen and should not be a profit motivated commodity, like cigarettes. Work and products are profit motivated. Good health should not be.
Wayne Maxwell it's a crime against humanity that conservatives in the U.S. keep pulling up wait times in Canada like people with life or death situations have to wait months, and that just isn't the case. I know this because of so many PS4 players on my friends list have shot down ignorant people who believe what they hear on news media by pundits who obviously are pushing a false agenda. Then there's also the "all the insurance jobs will be lost" health of citizens who pay taxes should come first in society. It's sickening to me to think that the pay for healthcare idea is even a talking point. For profit business is good for making products, not providing basic services to the public.I live in Los Angeles where we have the worst public transit system which received taxpayer funding year in and year out as well as public funds for any project they want, and it is a for profit private entity. It is a prime example alongside health care why a private for profit entity doesn't truly provide a "better product" to the tax paying consumers
We (Americans) need more of our Canadian and European friends to voice their support for their healthcare services on social media! Please save us from these evil Republican scum voters who love putting sociopaths into office. They still claim that every other countries healthcare is a death trap. They deny reality, they deny facts, they deny news, they deny health care coverage for sick children. The only thing they vote for is hate.
Wayne Maxwell Canada 36 million people - USA 323 million!!!! So shove your healthcare system up your ass! And what about 50 million people who are too lazy too work so they don't contribute tax dollars , who will pay for them??????
awill891 may I ask you who will pay for the 50 million Americans healthcare that don't pay taxes and are Too Lazy To Work?
Because the so called "greatest nation on earth" can't provide for its citizens like everyone else? Isn't it always you guys on the right championing how great a country are? Thanks for your faux-patriotism.
Everyone should call that number and then share this video so more people can see it
All people are not on TH-cam. They have bigger things to do.
(202) 224-312
Half of everything he says is completed fabricated and taken out of context. He wants to be like Germany, but no middle class citizen can afford to pay 45% taxes for universal healthcare.
I am America but grew up in Canada, from when I was 2 to 16 years old. My grandmother, legal guardian and step brother died because socialized medicine killed them. They weren't wealthy enough to come to America for ( cancer treatment, liver transplant or Alzheimer's ). Medicine was "free" (30% federal government tax GST & 15 % state tax PST). There is this thing called rationing healthcare where it's. First come first serve health. There isn't enough money to compensate doctors for treating patients thus forcing backups in the system.
This system does not work and there is a reason well off foreigners come to America for healthcare. If they can pay more, they go to the front of the line.
this was trending on twitter - people are aware
Thank you Jimmy Kimmel, for your courage, your eloquence and your clarity! I wish the best to you and your family.
I don’t understand any of this but I somehow feel better for living in Canada
Jimmy Kimmel, you are a wonderful human being and I too suffer from a chronic condition (I have suffered from polyarticular rheumatoid arthritis since I was five years old) and your passion towards the subject is something that I greatly respect and admire in your character. I hope your son is doing well and I pray for your family and I again thank you for your passion towards the subject and it takes a lot of guts to call out somebody who flat out lied on national television, and you did that in a very honorable, yet direct fashion. Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel. You are a hero to me.
Annamarie Sieberns I am very sorry that you are dealing with such a condition :( I suffer with severe depression and panic attacks,along with physical issues. I know what it's like to be going through a hard time. I am currently seeing a psychiatrist and therapist,since I was in the hospital for being suicidal. I sincerely hope and pray that things get better for you,ma'am. You are in my thoughts and prayers! God bless! :)
Don, could it be possible that your back is misaligned? I messed my back up a long time ago and it caused me to not feel happiness anymore. Like just cannot even feel it at all until I got my back readjusted by a chiropractor. I didn't even know that was what was causing it until the last one I went to actually put it in place correctly(the first 2 didn't but I didn't know).
It's probably not the same thing you're suffering from but just thought i'd throw that out there in case it could help you.
only idiot sheep watch this show
What do smart sheep watch?
Go back to huffing glue
Sounds like what you really need is universal health care.
Seems to work in every other major developed nation in the world....
May God bless ya KIMMEL!!!!!
I'm very glad to see you standing up for heath care in your country. Being a Canadian, I can't ever imagine stressing about getting sick let alone having to carry the burden of a child with a condition. Your country is great. It doesn't have to be great again. It just has to grow up. We love you guys and gals and all the letters I can't remember at this time. . You got this!
Kimmel is the bomb. People like Kimmel make a difference in the world.
Amen jimmy!!! We want affordably care for ALL!
Affordable*
history view I want a pony too.
No in gods name" for Jimmy. Blasphemy
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU MAN!
Be proud of yourself.
Jimmy for the win 💪🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
Yeah! Ignorance for the win! Let's all celebrate ignorant talk show hosts talking about things they don't understand! Woo hoo!
He is married with children, he lost.
Thankyou for standing for us all! ! You really explained this issue. You were so clear! Im so tired of the outright lying!
😂😂I was dying when he talked about the iTunes agreement
Thank you, Jimmy. We need your megaphone.
Other countries with either FREE or subsidized healthcare: Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Mexico, Cuba, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam... the list goes on.
Countries with MORE EXPENSIVE health care than the US: None.

Thank you so much for speaking up. I have a 13 year old who has basically been on life support since day 1 due to his GI tract not functioning properly. This will devastate his Medicaid funding both his disability Medicaid and his Medicaid waiver. I won't be able to find affordable private insurance for him. He will without a doubt have multiple pre-existing conditions under this new bill. I estimate his medical bills this year to be over $300,000. This is just one year he has always needed a high level of care; his medical supplies alone exceed $20,000 a year. If this bill passes, I may very well have to institutionalize him because I will be left with no other affordable options. I definitely couldn't pay jacked up premiums nor would I be able to cover his expenses out of pocket. They intend to defund Medicaid slowly with this bill until Medicaid coverage is basically worth nothing.
so other people has to pay $300,000 every year to keep 1 person alive who's not contributing anything to the economy. As heartless this is I think he and everyone else would be better if he didn't make it past day 1. sorry, but natural selection is crucial for evolution.
is the US an economy or a society?which do the people want it to be?
@Theodore Krap Basically your okay with people dying because they can't afford to pay their medical bills?
People shouldn't have to choose between paying a ridiculous amount of money for healthcare or dying from a treatable injury/disease because they can't afford healthcare.
Her son's disease is not treatable if he has had it since he was 1 day old and he is 12 now.
No it isn't treatable. He is disabled and has a Medicaid Waiver. The state has acknowledge he needs nursing level care that would result in institutionalization, thus the waiver.
I love you Jimmy. You have said the only real true in this debate. I respect you. I share your feelings and admire your courage.
Thank you Jim. You are giving us, voiceless, voice to be heard. Thanks.
Wow I remembered that interview and believed him
I can cry, will that allow me into your heart too?
Das Snow I was talking about Cassidy....
I wish more people with a voice would speak up like Jimmy does. We can't let these crooked people ruining regular people's lives while they get rich off bribes.
WitnessG where were u the last 8 years then?
Lol @ the title 😄 "Care"
Mr. Kimmel.... You're the Bomb... Wonderful Guy.
Jimmy Kimmel, I have been entertained by you since the man show. You have grown so much. I am so proud of you. Thanks for speaking up for us little guys
Thank you for speaking up for us with pre-existing conditions Jimmy.
Meanwhile CNN is talking about Trump's golf meme. Thanks for holding our elected officials accountable Jimmy.
Where was Jimmy when Obama was golfing during the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico... or when Obama was golfing last year, and Louisiana was under water? BTW... Trump and Pence went to Louisiana to help, and the Democratic governor whined about it. Where's the accountability when Democrats won't do their jobs?
Thank you for speaking out. Not only have I contacted my senators which are sadly both republicans who voted yes for the last bill, they will sadly vote yes on this bill. So I am sharing your passionate words on social media. People need to wake up and pay attention.
Johnny Quest we also need to start putting you in some educational classes.
I called. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Jimmy.
Thank God for Jimmy Kimmel
If there's one thing I'm happy about in my country in Europe is health care. I'll gladly pay taxes to give everyone quality medical care, it's the one thing everyone needs (and also education). If you're poor, you'll get help (affordable too), same if you're rich (but since you're rich you're free to buy the care you want anyway). Americans need to start calling these things out.
TdF Ditto from Canada.
TdF y’all lucky asf
Tracey Johnson..Canada rocks !!! I have my eyes set on Vancouver.
I do not know where you live, but I believe you and this also happens in my country. There's no "perfect" scenario. But I am yet to hear from someones in my country that was kicked out of a hospital or that could not afford medication/treatment when he/she was ill.
Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All is the way to go. If Canada, Australia, UK, France, New Zealand, and literally every other developed country can ensure better life expectancy for its citizens, why can't the US?
Ryan Crume, wow another adhominem attack on Sanders' character rather than his policy. Great point
will be my end Because we will get into more debt. The fact that we may have to pay more taxes. Obamacare isn't even working, Medicaid for all will not even work. A utopian healthcare system has never existed without it's faults.
If we say, implement single payer healthcare system (Medicaid for all) in California, did you know the cost exceeds the budget?
will be my end The other countries may have availability for healthcare, but needless to say it is not perfect. For example, Sweden healthcare available for all yet waiting time, quality, and high taxes (I'll check more on this).
Because we don't want to be poor and in financial ruins like they are.
Hunter Hubers maybe you should
Jimmy is spot on. America must wake up.
It did that is why trump wom.
Cute. A short tutorial for you:
In the VERY unlikely event that Obamacare is overturned, guys like YOU will get diddly-squat when it comes to healthcare coverage. So, I hope you're wealthy. Otherwise, when you're ill, your only option may be a trip to the emergency room, which MY tax dollars pay for. As a voter, I'm working to change that. In this life, I don't believe in free rides. I don't want to pay for your free healthcare. So.... my advice to you -- stay healthy.
Agreed!
amazing. i was once a kid laughing at jimmys nfl sunday pre game shows lol now im 26 holding back tears to his fight for justice
Get this to number 1 trending
Thank you. I pray Americans listen and respond now to protect each other, and especially later at the polls. If every other developed nation on the planet can guarantee healthcare for all of their citizens, America (the country who spends more than any nation on healthcare) can afford to do the same.
Very, very well said. Someone like you should replace Trump.
(You've come a long way from 'girls on trampoline' my friend!)
I guess it comes down to priorities - Health and humanity or wealth and warfare.
I'm lucky, where I live no-one gets a bill for going to an emergency room, riding in an ambulance, visiting a GP or having a baby. My taxes go towards supporting other people when they need healthcare and they in-turn support me. It's the benefit of being part of a civil society.
Thanks Jimmy! U r a gem!
Best wishes to Billy 😚😚
Hope it dies
Great job Jimmy Kimmel. Thank you for using your influence to help make positive changes in both our politics and our society.
Jimmy Kimmel you just hit hero activist status!
Cassidy already got what he wanted from being on Kimmel. This is why you just say no to these clowns when they want publicity.
Thank You for calling out other politicians apart from Trump.
Thanks Jimmy, keep it up!
Thanks Jimmy, keep telling people opportunity of outcome is as important as opportunity of opportunity. Get these libtards excited. They want toys but don't realize mommy has to pay for them
Kimmel! Thank your speaking up. I'm not the most motivated citizen in the world, but you made it easy. You gave us the story and you gave us the number to call our representatives. I called all of mine because of it.
Wonderful he is using his platform to try and create actual positive change. I applaud and appreciate his very noble efforts
Type 1 diabetic here, if I lived in the US, I don't know what would become of me. Probably submerged by debts. In Italy I don't pay a dime. The US are infinitely richer than Italy, I'm sure you can figure something out.
Wishing Americans the best of luck on this matter from Canada. Not being covered when you have a health problem must be, as your president is saying, 'a disaster. SAD! kovfefe.'
covfefe*
mmodnao feel you buddy. Yesterday I had some chest pains and I didn't have a second thought about going to the hospital because of money troubles. Grateful for my country. I'll pay the taxes no problem.
as a citizen of Louisiana I apologize for this man
Thank You Jimmy Kimmel for talking about this incredibly important topic. This republican senate bill is very cruel!
Yes ! Thanks so much Jimmy .
Congress people called.
What do Americans continually vote against their own best interests? Never forget -
*_Any vote for any Republi-Con is a vote against myself, my family & my country!_*
Wrong and stupid a deadly combination for you.
We claim that we have superior healthcare but that is only specialists for the rich. We rank 31st in life expectancy while almost every other country that uses universal healthcare system surpasses us in that category.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy
That's because Obamacare is a joke.
How can the greatest, most amazing country in the world not work this out?
Come on America. I'm from Australia and universal health care is supported by both sides of politics here. I don't have to worry about whether or not I can afford health care. Show us that you are truly making America great again.
Good on kimmel for this, you can tel this is completely from the heart
Health care should free I'm so luck i live in the UK
Healthcare is not free in the U.K. The cost is just hidden to fool the masses.
Johnny Quest how the hell do you know he's Muslim? Cause his name? Tf is up with you people.
If someone's name is Daffy Duck or Donald Duck... it's probably a duck.
Germany has universal healthcare since the 1880s.
Healthcare is not free in the UK. but we pay for it together. we never have to fear the financial burden of sickness because we all have each others backs. the NHS is not perfect but I am so proud of it.
