Kimmel Blasts Congress for Ending CHIP

Jimmy Kimmel returned to his late-night talk show Jmmy Kimmel Live! this week and brought along his infant son Billy, who had undergone heart surgery recently, causing the host to take time off.

Kimmel teared up as he reassured his audience that Billy was fine, and took the opportunity to call out the Republican-led United States Congress for failing to renew the Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP), which provides coverage to the kids of families who don’t qualify for Medicaid but do not receive health benefits through their employer.
