The latest effort to repeal Obamacare
#11
Of course the right-wingers hound Jimmy Kimmel:

Quote:I always turn to millionaire comedians for my health care public policy,” Matt Lewis, a conservative columnist, quipped on CNN Thursday.  “I wish Jimmy Kimmel would focus on being funny instead of giving health care advice.”  Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who authored the repeal bill with Cassidy, has also accused Kimmel of being uninformed, saying the comedian simply adopted “some liberal talking points that are absolutely garbage.”  “He bought it hook, line and sinker,” Graham told NBC News Wednesday. "I’m sorry he does not understand," Cassidy echoed Wednesday on CNN's "New Day" program.

However, it turns out Jimmy Kimmel is right:

Quote:On Wednesday, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association warned the Cassidy-Graham bill “would allow states to waive key consumer protections, as well as undermine safeguards for those with pre-existing medical conditions.” America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the health insurance industry’s largest lobbying group, also came out this week against the bill, saying it “pull[s] back on protections for pre-existing conditions.”
