Petition updateSupport the Medical Blacklisting Prevention Act to Protect Patients’ RightsURGENT UPDATE: The Scott Adams Case Shows Why We Need the Medical Blacklisting Prevention Act NOW

Dear Supporters,

Recently something happened that perfectly illustrates why the Medical Blacklisting Prevention Act is desperately needed in America.

Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, was approved by his healthcare provider Kaiser Permanente to receive Pluvicto—an FDA-approved cancer drug for his metastatic prostate cancer. But despite the approval, Kaiser "dropped the ball" in scheduling his treatment. As Adams stated publicly, he was "declining fast" and couldn't get anyone to fix the scheduling issue.

What happened next should alarm every American:

Adams reached out to President Trump via social media on Sunday, November 2nd. Within hours, President Trump, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Donald Trump Jr. intervened. By Monday, Adams had his appointment scheduled for Tuesday.

But here's the critical question: What about the rest of us?

Scott Adams himself noted: "For context, I waited months for the drug, like everyone else. But I think my files got misplaced or something and that glitch just got corrected."

As one social media user responding to this situation wrote: "There are Americans all over America who are currently going through similar circumstances."

The stark reality is this: Scott Adams got life-saving treatment because he had powerful connections. But what about:

  • Combat veterans being denied care?
  • Chronic pain patients blacklisted for "drug seeking" or for filing complaints?
  • Patients denied treatment simply because a doctor didn't like their questions or personality?
  • Patients who will be denied care because of their public role (see Crystal Tadlock, Nurse in Magnolia, TX who told cops they will die in her facility)?
  • Patients who are labeled as "hysterical" or "anxious" or "faking"?
  • People whose political views or race subject them to medical discrimination?

Most Americans don't have the President's phone number. Most Americans can't tweet at HHS secretaries and get immediate responses. Most Americans suffering from medical blacklisting are simply left to decline, suffer, and potentially die.

The Two-Tier Healthcare System
This incident exposes a deeply troubling reality: we have a two-tier healthcare system where access to life-saving treatment depends not on medical need, but on who you know. As one healthcare policy expert stated regarding the Adams situation: "Our health system shouldn't be one where we need the intervention of the president or the HHS secretary to weigh in on behalf of a high-profile political backer."

If Scott Adams can get urgent medical care with presidential intervention, why can't all Americans get the care they need without it?

This Is Medical Blacklisting

Whether it is:

  • Administrative "file misplacement" or falsified records
  • Refusal to schedule approved treatments
  • Denial of care after filing complaints
  • Discrimination based on political views, race, or personal characteristics
  • Retaliation for questioning medical decisions

The result is the same: Americans are being denied medical care for non-medical reasons, and people are dying.

What We're Fighting For
The Medical Blacklisting Prevention Act would:

  • Prohibit healthcare providers from denying care based on non-medical factors
  • Create accountability for "administrative errors" that delay or deny critical treatment
  • Establish patient rights protections against retaliation for complaints or questions
  • Ensure that ALL Americans—not just those with powerful connections—have equal access to approved medical treatments
  • Provide legal recourse for victims of medical discrimination

We Need Your Voice
The Scott Adams case proves that even with insurance coverage, even with approved treatments, even when you're literally dying—you can still be denied care unless you have extraordinary influence.

This is unacceptable. This is un-American. This must end.

Please:

  1. Sign this petition if you haven't already
  2. Share this update with everyone you know
  3. Contact your representatives and tell them about the Medical Blacklisting Prevention Act
  4. Share your own story of medical denial or blacklisting publicly

Every American deserves what Scott Adams received: timely access to approved, life-saving medical treatment. Not because of who they know, but because healthcare is a human right.

Together, we can end medical blacklisting in America.

Thank you for standing with us in this critical fight.

For thousands of Americans suffering in silence—for combat veterans denied care—for chronic pain patients abandoned by the system—for every person who doesn't have the President's ear—we will not stop fighting.

In solidarity,

Amy McFalls
