3. It boggles the mind that ANYBODY

(Dem or Rep) would ever consider possibly killing people for selfish political ambitions. That is inhumane. Unfortunately this is where our broken and sick country is right now. I don't know how the idiots in Washington sleep at night.

5. I'll tell you what I've read in other forums.

Things like:

It's not my problem.
It's their fault they don't have more money or a better job.
Tell 'em to get a job.
Why should I pay for their health insurance?

Yeah, pretty heartless, and refusing to accept the reality that there is, and always will be, a stratum of incomes in the country. There will always be those that have more and those that have less. Even when everyone's income goes up, there is still a bottom and still a top. People are worthy and are entitled to health care, no matter their income.

(The ACA didn't get it quite right, though. Wish they'd work on tweaking that, but we know they won't.)

6. I had tears in my eyes. Good on Jimmy Kimmel form using his show

to promote the good that the ACA has done. Sadly, I don't think most of these Republicans can be shamed into doing the right thing. They seem to have the preexisting condition of a lack of human empathy.

8. "No parent should have to decide if they can afford to save their child's life"

WOW. This entire thing is heart wrenching.

And he's right: "No parent should have to decide if they can afford to save their child's life"

NOT in the United States.

THAT is NOT what / how this country should be!

11. Jimmy Kimmel is a Decent Man

God bless him for having the courage to share his story in front of his audience. Nothing can be more scary and heart-wrenching than something life threatening happening to someone you love.

The fact that he has the means to have quality insurance and still cares about those who don't, is what makes him a decent man. We need to elect representatives who, like him, understand how important the Golden Rule and compassion are to a healthy society.
