A few hours after the birth, a nurse noticed that the baby had a faint heart murmur, and was slightly blue. While opening the show, the host talked about his newborn son having to be rushed into emergency heart surgery because of a heart defect.
Billy will have to undergo future surgeries, but is doing well, according to Kimmel, who thanked a list of people, including medical professionals, his staff, friends and family.
"We've got a health care system that's not doing what it's supposed to. But most importantly, I think in the end of Jimmy Kimmel's monologue, he said we need some of these things that aren't Republican or Democrat, that are American policies, and I think that's what the president is fighting for right now".
United States talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has opened up on the troubled delivery of his new baby, recounting the excruciating three-hour wait for his son to go through life-saving heart surgery moments after birth. "That's exactly why we fought so hard for the (Affordable Care Act), and why we need to protect it for kids like Billy".
Kimmel moved into full-on crying at this point, adding, "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". I couldn't ask for a better partner and I'm so happy we had this baby together'.
Kimmel applauded congress for voting down President Trump's proposal to cut six billion dollars from the National Institute of Health.
