The way Jimmy Kimmel calls Cassidy’s lies out is a thing of beauty.
Kimmel also rakes Chris Christie and Fox’s Brian Kilmeade over the coals.
See for yourself.
Kimmel shows a clip of Senator Cassidy saying Jimmy “does not understand”.
“I don’t understand because I’m a talk show host, right? Well. Help me out, which part don’t I understand?
Is it the part where you cut 243 billion dollars from federal health care assistance?
Am I not understanding the part where states would be allowed to let insurance companies would be allowed to price you out of coverage for having preexisting conditions?
Maybe I don’t understand the part where federal funding disappears completely after 2026?
Or maybe it was the part where the plans are no longer required to pay for essential health benefits like maternity care or pediatric visits?
Or the part where
the American Medical Association,
the American College of Physicians,
the American Academy of Pediatrics,
the American Hospital Association,
the American Cancer Society,
the American Diabetes Association,
the American Heart Association,
Lung Association,
Arthritis Foundation,
Cystic Fibrosis,
ALS,
the National Multiple Sclerosis Society,
and the March of Dimes,
among many others, all vehemently oppose your bill?
Which part of this am I not understanding?
Or could it be Senator Cassity that the problem is that I do understand, and you got caught with your G-O-Penis out?
Is that possible?
Because it feels like it is.”
Of course Trump weighed in with some clueless tweets, indicating he knows nothing at all about the bill he’s so eager to sign.
Kimmel said about Trump:
“There’s no way President Trump read this bill, that he says is great. He just wants to get rid of it because Obama’s name is on it.”
“Can you imagine President Trump sitting down to read a health care bill? It’s like trying to imagine a dog doing your taxes.”
