Adams tried getting help from the fat bastard. Never got any, forgotten like a crumpled Dixie cup thrown into the trash. Whoops! (lemmy.world)

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.

life-threatening treatment

Excuse me, what?

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

LIFE-THREATENING TREATMENT, OKAY?!

(Thanks, edited).

You’re going to get this treatment or I’m going to hurt you!

the funny (or ironic) thing is how trivial the steps are that the insurance companies ignore. This guy had to call in a major favor just to get on the schedule. -From personal experience i can tell you insurance wont always deny a claim. Some will (like mine) just repeatedly refuse to acknowledge they ever recieved a claim after repeated submissions and calls.
