As yet another version of a revised Obamacare plan moves toward a vote this week, a defense of ACHA and specifically pre-existing conditions was made by none other than Jimmy Kimmel. He stunned the audience and viewers last night when he revealed his hours old newborn son had to undergo major heart surgery.
I’m a parent and I can just imagine the fear they were going through while they waited to find out if Billy had made it through. Thankfully, due to exceptional care, amazing doctors, and lots of prayer, he did.
Jimmy makes the point that health insurance for those with pre-existing conditions has been problematic. Quite frankly it is still a problem under Obamacare, in part due to many of state exchanges failing, and Medicaid really isn’t a help with this.
It’s very evident that Kimmel’s story has hit a nerve regarding the debate on healthcare and even how to define healthcare vs health insurance. It’s certainly shifted the goal posts on the debate.
That said, there are some who’d rather capitalize on someone’s pain for themselves and their own ghoulish mercenary reasons.
Health care should be a right, not a privilege. TY @jimmykimmel for sharing your story so folks understand. https://t.co/LT8cxlQZYK

Pause and think about that for a minute. The head of Planned Parenthood, an organization that thrives on abortion, is applauding Jimmy Kimmel for sharing his story about his son surviving birth and major surgery.
She. Has. No. Shame.
Had this baby been diagnosed before birth PP would have advocated abortion and Jimmy Kimmel would not have a son!

Kimmel said this at one point last night.
We were brought up to believe that we live in the greatest country in the world, but until a few years ago, millions and millions of us had no access to health insurance at all. You know, before 2014, if you were born with congenital heart disease, like my son was, there’s a good chance you’d never be able to get health insurance, because you had a pre-existing condition. You were born with a preexisting condition. And if your parents didn’t have insurance, you may not even live long enough to get denied because of a preexisting condition.
If your baby is going to die and it doesn’t have to, it shouldn’t matter how much money you make. I think that’s something that whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat or something else, we all agree on that, right?
Which makes Richards comment all the more ghoulish.
@nytimes your baby doesn't have to die just because you don't have money..Did you hear that @PPact ?

No, she refuses to hear. She’s all about the money and tying her heinously evil organization to every money-making liberal cause she can.

Cecile Richards wants us to believe that abortion is healthcare.
It isn’t and it never ever will be. She wants us to believe that she is oh so concerned with Jimmy Kimmel and his precious little boy. She’s not. She’s faking her concern because it looks good, and she really hopes we’ll all ignore that Planned Parenthood makes money and buys cars off of abortions and the selling of baby parts.
Jimmy Kimmel, his wife, and their sweet little boy faced a health crisis that strikes fear in the hearts of parents everywhere. What he said last night is resonating with many and while the healthcare is a ‘right’ narrative is misguided, Kimmel has given us all more to talk about in the next few days.
The fact that an abortion provider is attempting to advertise off of this is disgustingly vile.
No, it is not a disgustingly vile, it is the definition of evil; equal to the death camps of WW2. They call us nazi but nazi death camps ain’t got nothing to compare to PP. At least the nazis were content with murdering the already born.
One day, I hope before I die, PP will be on trial for crimes against humanity. I want to see these butchers hang. An old man’s last wish.
