I don't usually talk about serious topics on this blog, but now seems like a good time to do it. Last night, Will Arnett guest hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC, and I'd wonder why. it all started last week when Jimmy Kimmel's wife gave birth to a newborn son named Billy which was why the host was off for a few days last week, but here is where it gets emotional. Kimmel revealed on last Monday’s show that his new son had severe heart disease, I'm going to explain what that is but does sound serious and because of this doctors where hard at work trying to bring the new son back to health, it turned out to be a successful heart surgery for such a young baby. Kimmel has shared the experience in an emotional opening monologue from last Monday and then gave his opinion on heath insurance, he believes that the idea that anyone should be denied access to health insurance and to coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. When I saw the video on the monologue, I couldn't bear to listen to such sorrow, Kimmel showed us pictures of his son in the hospital, some were great and some were not. Social media have been expressing all kinds of feelings about this story and it's fair to show some of them on this blog and shed some sort of light on heath issues that have been plaguing our country, so #TwitterTrend has these tweets you have to look out.

Jimmy Kimmel: "If your baby is going to die, and it doesn't have to, it shouldn't matter how much money you make"

I think Jimmy Kimmel's words will save lives. I hope Republican lawmakers - and 45 - are listening.

Molly McNearney @mollymcnearney

I am thankful to love and be loved by these two brave guys. Both criers.

Larry Wilmore @larrywilmore

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Well said, Jimmy. That's exactly why we fought so hard for the ACA, and why we need to protect it for kids like Billy. And congratulations!

Jimmy Kimmel @jimmykimmel

on behalf of my family, thank you for the lovely and loving tweets about our son Billy and for your donations to http://www.chla.org  XO

Finally, by now you have seen the monologue from Jimmy Kimmel and so now WebChoice will allow you to relieve it and so you can express your feelings as we try to live in a country that is suffering in such difficult times like these and has a reputation of bouncing back through every situation.
