Host and face of Jimmy Kimmel Live! the star has retaliated against the GOP Health Bill.
Jimmy Kimmel has made a call to his viewers to fight back against the GOP Health Bill.

Kimmel urges his viewers to call their senators in order to stop the pending legislation for

three consecutive nights. Kimmel has vowed to his public audience he would not support

a legislation that cannot grant affordable healthcare to families, especially households

who have children with pre-existing conditions. According to Kimmel, he states that the

bill would allow insurance companies to enforce lifetime caps. Kimmels stance on

affordable healthcare derives from an emergency heart surgery his young son has to go

through, and a reflection of the of the difficulty lower to middle income families would

have to go through for procedures without insurance.
