Kimmel: 'It Would Be Ironic to Die While Waiting On Hold for Health Insurance'

October 22, 2013

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel joined the chorus of voices mocking the Obamacare rollout Monday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, poking fun at its numerous issues and delays during his opening monologue.

"If you are in need of health care, you can wait for them to g`et the site fixed, or you can enroll in medical school, graduate and then just take care of yourself, which would probably be faster," he said.

He added he found it fascinating that healthcare.gov did not work, yet every porn site in the world "works like a charm."

Kimmel also joked about the woman who nearly fainted during Obama's address and was helped by him and other onlookers, saying "that's Obamacare. As long as you get sick in the presence of the president, you're covered."

He ended by mocking the phone line's long waiting time, pointing out the irony of dying while waiting on hold for health insurance.
