Jimmy Kimmel Continues Health Care Battle With Sen. Cassidy, Trump

Jimmy Kimmel continued his assault on the Graham-Cassidy health care bill Thursday night, spreading his criticism among public sparring partner Sen. Bill Cassidy and President Trump.

Kimmel cautioned viewers to not read too much into Trump's tweets in support of the bill. "At this point he would sign anything if it meant getting rid of Obamacare," the late-night host said. "He'd sign copies of the Quran at the Barnes & Noble in Fallujah if it meant he could get rid of Obamacare."

He went on: "He doesn't know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. He barely knows the difference between Melania and Ivanka." (For more national political news, sign up for the free White House Patch email newsletter.)

Kimmel then brought up a graphic with the logos of prominent health care organizations that have come out against the bill, including the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association.

"We haven't seen this many people come forward to speak out against a bill since Cosby, OK?," he said.

Lastly, Kimmel pushed back against the pundits and politicians on Fox News that have assailed his authority to speak about health care.

"A lot of people have been saying I'm not qualified to talk about this, and that is true, I'm not qualified to talk about this," he said. "But I think those people forget Bill Cassidy named this test after me. Am I supposed to just be quiet about that?"
