Cassidy: Obamacare repeal must pass Kimmel test and lower premiums

Sen. Bill Cassidy on Monday reinforced that a repeal and replace bill for Obamacare must pass the “Kimmel test” to get his vote.

Speaking at the American Hospital Association’s annual meeting in Washington, the Louisiana Republican was referring to his support of a monologue last week by Jimmy Kimmel, in which the comedian shared difficult circumstances about his son’s birth and pleaded for politicians to keep Obamacare’s guarantee for coverage of people with pre-existing illnesses.
