Jimmy Kimmel: GOP Senator ‘Lied Right To My Face’ About Healthcare Reform

I know, muh Hollywood liberals. But Kimmel is right, this bill allows insurance companies to charge thru the roof for pre-existing conditions.

Late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel has found himself mired in the current health care debate due to a moving monologue he gave a few months ago about his infant son’s heart condition. Kimmel used his remarks to call on President Trump and Republicans to not get rid of protections for pre-existing conditions.
Kimmel’s emotional reaction to the health care his son received led to Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) declaring that any health care bill the GOP passed should pass what he called the “Jimmy Kimmel test,” which in his opinion meant that no family should be denied necessary medical care, even if they couldn’t afford it. Now that the Graham-Cassidy Bill now has a possibility of passing the Senate, however, Kimmel noted that the Louisiana lawmaker lied when doing his “publicity tour” about health care earlier in the year.

This was the case before Obamacare.

Did he say that is Democrat senator and his Democrat president lied to his face also? I don't think so. Kimmel's a hack.

This is not true. Insurance comapanies could flat out deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.

If you don't allow the market to price risk, you might as well go UK-model. Splitting the baby never works well.
If I can't charge you for pre-existing conditions, then there is no incentive for you to get health insurance until you get sick. Thus, that's not insurance at all. That's forced cost sharing.
Now, if you want to subsidize that, that's a different question - but as for the market, pricing the risk pool is exactly the right thing in capitalism.

Link to where Jimmy said anything about insurance?
He said, "denied necessary medical care".

No one is denied life-saving medical care in the United States - citizens, illegal dreamers, homeless folks, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers - no one.

That's why you get a job with a decent size company. I have always had to have a job at a decent size company so my pre-existing injury would be cover. People need to grow up and start doing what's best for them and not expect someone else to always help them . I want to back to insurance before Obamacare.

Do you understand the concept of insurance?
It's a private entity that looks to make money by having other people give them money and hopefully never have to pay a claim or a benefit. If claims and benefit costs are incurred by the insurance company, premiums get raised.
Not everyone can afford the best auto Insurance, homeowners insurance, disability insurance, medical insurance, life insurance plans available. Should the government run all insurance companies?

What the left wants is equal shitty treatment for the masses. In socialist counties you have basically a two tiered system; a substandard medical system for the 99% and a state of the art medical system for the 1% who pay cash. This is what the left wants.

As it should be.

So it allows

to underwrite and price risks?! No way! How is that possible?
Have you ever underwritten an insurance policy, a loan, etc? What you really want is a guarantee that someone else will pay for medical bills regardless of risks.

This is correct.
Plus, the block grant plan allows for Jimmy and his Hollywood buddies to pressure Sacramento to include this in their state level plans.

I'm perfectly ok with Cassidy making the argument for why people who are sick should pay more for insurance... This is not what's he's doing...
He's lying by saying that more people will be covered and that people will be paying less.

Again, do you understand how Insurance works?
If you have multiple DUIs should you be allowed to drive? Should your insurance premiums be higher? Because your pre-existing condition states that you're an irresponsible and dangerous driver?
If you build a house in a flood prone area, should you have to pay for flood insurance or should others cover your expenses when you are flooded?

Yeah so if you have a kid born with a heart defect, you get to go bankrupt to ensure he has life saving coverage. But hey you're a grown up so you can handle it?
