Jimmy Kimmel, who recently used his opening monologue to talk about his newborn son’s open-heart surgery, took on critics that said he used the platform to get political. Kimmel was back hosting ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Monday after a week's absence. We've had a dozen doctor's appointments since our son had surgery," Kimmel said. During a satellite interview with Cassidy, Kimmel asked about his position on issues including uninsured workers and protection of children under a revised health care bill. Kimmel called for his namesake test to guarantee that no family be denied medical care, emergency or otherwise, because they can't afford it.
