"So Adams posted his complaint on X, saying Kaiser of Northern California, his health insurer and care provider, had "dropped the ball" in scheduling a procedure needed to treat his metastatic prostate cancer. Adams wrote he was going to ask Trump to help save his life, and he added: "I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday.""
"Donald Trump Jr. responded to the post on X first, saying: "Going to make sure that my dad sees this." Just after 11 am on Sunday morning, Kennedy responded, saying, "Scott. How do I reach you? The President wants to help." Later that day, President Trump posted a screen shot of Adams' original post and responded "On it!" on his favored social media platform, Truth Social."
Scott Adams experienced months-long delays and a scheduling failure with Kaiser of Northern California for a procedure to treat his metastatic prostate cancer. Adams posted on X asking President Trump for help and said he was "declining fast." Donald Trump Jr., Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and President Trump each responded on social media, with Kennedy asking how to reach Adams and Trump saying "On it!" Adams obtained an appointment for the Pluvicto infusion the next day. The case illustrates how the complex U.S. health system can leave patients frustrated and how high-profile connections can expedite care that others lack.
