Jimmy and his wife Molly welcomed their second child together, William “Billy” Kimmel, ten days ago, but it quickly became evident that something wasn’t right with the little guy.

Kimmel said his son would likely need two more surgeries over the course of his life for the condition, but that he would be OK.

“If your baby is going to die, and it doesn’t have to, it should not matter how much money you make,” Kimmel said, while holding back more tears. “I saw a lot of families there. And no parent should ever have to decide if they can afford to save their child’s life. It just shouldn’t happen. Not here.”

Regardless of your politics, I think we can all agree with Kimmel that we have to take care of each other.
Hopefully that message is heard.
