    He did get help from Trump. Trump got the Insurance company to approve some experimental treatment that they were giving him the runaround for. Ultimately, he still died, but Trump did help him.

    Which points at the bigger glaring issue that insurance companies will deny you healthcare unless, you are mildly famous and on good terms with the President of the United State

      That’s just how the pedophile in chief wants it. He wants everyone begging him for scraps.

        After Trump’s intervention, Adams joked that “nobody in senior management at Kaiser, my health care company, had a good weekend.” He added:  “I feel bad about it, but good about it — because it might have saved my life. I mean, there’s a very good chance.”

        In a statement, Kaiser Permanente, the Oakland-based managed care organization, did not specify if or how it responded to the president’s intervention, but it said, “Mr. Adams’ oncology team is working closely with him on the next steps in his cancer care, which are already underway.”

        Correction. I don’t see any direct evidence that Trump or RFK actually did anything. Just them responding to the tweet was enough to get the insurance company moving.

          Thanks for the information regardless.

          Sad that you have to be famous to get life-threatening edit: life-saving! treatment in circumstances where the rest is simply denied and left to die.
