During Wednesday’s episode of _Live!_, Kimmel read out a number of appreciative Facebook posts and tweets from [Trump supporters](http://time.com/4904600/jimmy-kimmel-trump-supporter-mean-tweets/) who were happy to hear that he had supposedly changed his tune about the President’s health care plan. “Is funny how he made fun of the president for ruining the health care but now that he’s actually proposing the great plan Jimmy is praising it,” one post read. “Stupid liberals could have been supportive from the beginning instead of giving those ridiculous speeches.” Of course, Trumpcare doesn’t actually exist as [healthcare.gov](https://www.healthcare.gov) currently allows users to enroll in 2018 coverage under the Affordable Care Act — a.k.a. Obamacare. Watch the full clip below. ## Transcript [00:00] So this poor kid, this is what he looked like on Monday. [00:03] Aw. [00:05] But this is what he looked like yesterday. [ APPLAUSE ] [00:07] [ INAUDIBLE ] [ APPLAUSE ] Poor kid not only did he get [00:19] a bad heart he got my face [ LAUGH ] [00:23] Yeah that's Jimmy Kimmel tearfully revealing on his [00:25] show on Monday night that his new born son had [00:27] successfully undergone a lifesaving operation due to [00:30] being born with a congenital heart disease. Kimmel [00:32] and wife Molly McNearny's second child together Billy [00:35] Was born on April 21st but the late night host revealed [00:38] a nurse quickly realized something wasn't right. Saying [00:42] this, my wife was in bed relaxing, a very attentive [00:44] nurse at Cedars- Sinai heard a murmur and noticed he [00:47] was a bit purple, which is not common. During the 13 [00:50] minute monologue, Kimmel individually thanked every [00:52] nurse and doctor that helped his son. And revealed [00:56] Billy's diagnosis. Watch this [ MUSIC ] [00:59] They did an echocardiogram, which is a sonogram of [01:03] the heart, and found that Billy was born with a [01:08] heart disease. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [01:12] Something called tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary [01:15] atresia. Its hard to explain. Basically, the pulmonary [01:18] valve was completely blocked and he has a hole in the [01:22] wall between the left and right sides of his heart. Billy [01:28] successfully underwent open heart surgery, and six [01:30] days after he was born he was able to leave the [01:32] hospital. In addition to thanking Children's Hospital of [01:35] Los Angeles Jimmy spoke out about families having to [01:37] navigate the health care system, watch. [ SOUND ] You [01:41] know, before 2014, if you were born with congenital [01:44] heart disease like my son was, there was a good [01:46] chance you'd never be able to get health insurance [01:48] because you had a pre- existing condition. You were [01:51] born with a pre- existing condition. And if your parents [01:54] didn't have medical insurance, you might not live long [01:56] enough to even get denied because of A pre- existing [01:59] condition. If your baby is going to die, and it doesn't [02:02] have to it shouldn't matter how much money you make. [02:06] I think that's something that, whether you are a [02:08] Republican or Democrat or something else, we all [02:11] agree on that, right? I mean, we do. Really moving [02:14] stuff, Kimmel is now on paternity leave for the rest of [02:17] this week and his famous friends, including Will Arnett [02:20] Anthony Anderson, Kristen Bell and David Spade will [02:22] guest host the ABC show in his absence. Our thoughts [02:25] and prayers of course go out to Jimmy, Molly, Billy and [02:27] the rest of the Kimmel family. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5016952/jimmy-kimmel-trumpcare-tweets/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5016952/jimmy-kimmel-trumpcare-tweets/"},"headline":"Watch Jimmy Kimmel Read Thank You Tweets for Throwing His Support Behind 'Trumpcare'","datePublished":"2017-11-09T16:08:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-12T08:27:51.653Z","description":"The late night host has a whole new set of supporters","url":"https://time.com/5016952/jimmy-kimmel-trumpcare-tweets/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Health Care","Television","Jimmy Kimmel","TV","jimmy kimmel live","Late Night Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta26fb47d05b44840/6988e52f8fd2ee045635993e/screen-shot-2017-11-09-at-10-22-31-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta26fb47d05b44840/6988e52f8fd2ee045635993e/screen-shot-2017-11-09-at-10-22-31-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jimmy-Kimmel-Trumpcare-Tweets","caption":"","creditText":"ABC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5016952/jimmy-kimmel-trumpcare-tweets/","name":"Watch Jimmy Kimmel Read Thank You Tweets for Throwing His Support Behind 'Trumpcare'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Jimmy Kimmel Tearfully Reveals Newborn Son Billy Underwent Open Heart Surgery","description":"Jimmy revealed that his newborn son had successfully undergone the life-threatening operation","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/EffWXk7I/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-05-02T14:28:45.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/EffWXk7I.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5016952/jimmy-kimmel-trumpcare-tweets/","duration":"PT2M29S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5016952/jimmy-kimmel-trumpcare-tweets/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
