[ applause ] the jimmy kimmel test should be no family denied care because they can t afford it. can that be the jimmy kimmel test? as simple as that? is that oversimplifying it? if that s as close as we get, that works great in government. and that was a very slippery politician s answer that jimmy kimmel s audience hearing there. he did not actually agree with jimmy kimmel s version of the kimmel test. instead, he said that the idea was on the right track and now that very same senator cassidy is pushing a health care bill that will repeal and replace obamacare and would completely fail the jimmy kimmel test. millions upon millions of people would lose health care under the cassidy bill that is being co-sponsored by senator graham. we don t know how many millions because the congressional budget office has not scored the bill
reuben for the washington post and, jennifer, you wrote about this cassidy/graham bill today for the washington post and jimmy kimmel tweeted the article to the 10 million followers and you make the point clearly in the article that the cassidy bill fails the kimmel test. that s right. one of the things it does, for example, is put a per capita, caps the medicaid for every state. so that people who are enjoying medicaid benefits won t in the future. we are not just talking about rolling back the extension of medicaid. we are talking about a worst cut for medicaid. we are talking about giving states the right to redefine the minimum declines. maybe define it as not including heart defects and which was the defect that jimmy kimmel s son was born with.

not here. so after jimmy couple mel told that powerful story of how doctors at children s hospital in los angeles performed life saving surgery on his newborn son, the jimmy kimmel test for health care legislation. senator cassidy s jimmy kimmel test is would any child get everything he or she needs in the first year of life even if it cost more than a certain amount of money? senator cassidy was a guest on the show after jimmy kimmel s emotional monologue. lowering premiums with coverage passing the jimmy kimmel test, we get an american plan. not a republican or democrat plan and that s where we need to be.
