Kimmel like most hollow wood elites piously contends GOP replacement of Obamacare will HURT kids like what his kid suffered with heart conditions.
It is interesting though how Kimmel like many people do take ANECDOTAL situations and make them the RULE rather than the exception.
Case in point.
Under Obamacare supposedly NO one need worry about Pre-existing conditions as it was TOTALLY covered right?
Now remember the emotional motivated Obamacare was passed because Obama told us:
"Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition,"
FACTS folks: Half of All Americans would have been 160 million. Right?
WELL right away that is a bald face lie
BECAUSE under employer insurance there are no PRE-EXISTING conditions!!!
FACT is it affected less then 22 million i.e. 7% that had private health insurance...
BUT WAIT how many people were refused health insurance due to Pre-existing conditions?
A total of LESS THEN 1.5 million Americans who were denied health insurance or paid higher premiums due to pre-existing conditions.
Obama's Pre-existing Conditions Whopper
Now under Obamacare HOW many people of those millions with Pre-existing conditions were covered?
Pre-existing Condition Insurance Program (PCIP) was operational in all 50 states by the fall of 2010. By late 2012, just over 100,000 individuals were enrolled and program expenses had consumed nearly half of the $5 billion appropriation.

Each year approximately 40,000 babies are born in the United States with a congenital heart defect

So why doesn't little Jimmy do what Jerry Lewis did with Muscular Dystrophy and start a telethon for this charity:
We help families with children suffering from congenital heart disease by
providing financial support. We also strive to raise awareness of CHD -- with the end goal of improving the outcomes for those affected by CHD.
Hopeful Hearts
Why must our tax dollars go to support when we actually can get a tax deduction by donating to the above and IT helps these parents instead of making it a Federal responsibility?
Hey asshole, normal people learn vicariously. Assholes ignore reality.
Hey asshole, people that say someone they claim to care about should get something should be the ones to provide it. You claim to care yet want to go about funding things by getting the government to force someone else to pay for it.
Same mentality re criminal illegal aliens and the DACA scammers. They can sponsor all the immigrants they want, yet none of them go anywhere near sponsorships; they're all frauds and phonies.
