Jimmy Kimmel was one of the defenders of ACA when Sen. Cassidy and others tried to repeal the ACA in 2017.

Cassidy was one of the co-sponsors of the repeal.
He tried to drag Jimmy Kimmel into the ACA repeal with a so-called Jimmy Kimmel test.

Kimmel interpreted the test as the following:

Since I am Jimmy Kimmel, I would like to make a suggestion as to what the Jimmy Kimmel test should be. I’ll keep it simple. The Jimmy Kimmel test, I think, should be: No family should be denied medical care, emergency or otherwise, because they can’t afford it.

None of the GOP leaders follow this test.

Why does the GOP follow a narcissist who is both stupid and cruel.

There was talk over the weekend of repealing ACA and making payments to consumers directly.
Cassidy was on board with this also.
Let him try to drag Jimmy Kimmel into this again.
