In an interview with Fox News, Upton said he expects an up-or-down vote on the revised health care bill by Thursday. Former Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois tweeted about the monologue: "Sorry Jimmy Kimmel: your sad story doesn't obligate me or anybody else to pay for somebody else's health care." Sorry Jimmy Kimmel: your sad story doesn't obligate me or anybody else to pay for somebody else's health care. “It may be a minority response across the country, but it is how they feel.”A number of high-profile Democrats voiced their support for Kimmel’s health care appeal, including Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama.
