WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel Returns To Address Emotional Monolog “I Saved ObamaCare”

Jimmy Kimmel returned to his hosting duties after hammering tears over the birth of his newborn son, who had to undergo life-saving open-heart surgery hours after he was delivered. Many on the right saw Kimmel’s emotional plea as more of a partisan commercial for saving ObamaCare.

During the tearful monologue, Kimmel advocated for the importance of affordable universal healthcare and encouraged fans to donate to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

On Monday, he addressed the bill recently passed by the House of Representatives that would potentially repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act with a controversial bill that could cost millions of people their health coverage.

“One week ago tonight, I made an emotional speech that was seen by millions, and as a result of my powerful words that night, Republicans in Congress had second thoughts about ‘repeal and replace.’ They realized that what is right is right, and I saved health insurance in the United States of America!” Kimmel joked, before pretending to get a correction from his off-screen producer. “What’s that? I didn’t? I didn’t save it? They voted against it anyway! I really need to pay more attention to the news.” h/t et

Well Jimmy you saved Health Care but can you save your career?
