Elite American greasing the wheels of Canadian Hospital?

Please read this material and draw your own conclusions.

1. In 2008 a well connected lawyer in the US was terminally ill.
2. Either he or he and his family and friends wanted to use any new drugs possible to fight the illness.
(This is something we can all appreciate and understand)
3. He was not qualified for a drug that was in the stages of testing but was not approved by the FDA.
4. The man's wife approaches well connected DC/Clinton woman.
5. Prior to this the man's wife had gone up and down the political ladder and had President Clinton, Senator Kerry and Lance Armstrong lobby the company testing the drug.
6. This DC connection then contacted the man with THE connection to the Clinton's and asked him to intercede. (John Podesta)
This is a read of how the elite work the system when an ordinary citizen cannot.

If all this is not bad enough - we all hear the Americans brag about Canadians running to the US for real health care. Well in this case the American was attempting to use Canada.

"On The Canadian Option
 Dr. Trudel spoke with Dr. Lust about 30 minutes ago. I suggest you connect with him and hear his point of view of the conversation. From what Dr. Trudel has told me: - Dr. Lust still has confidence in the US as an option - In Canada, this procedure would be viewed as experimental - There would be some need to engage with the hospital executives to secure permission and the appropriate process for paying for the drug (which is different in the socialized medical system), but my sense is that this would ultimately be manageable - There is the potential that permission from the manufacturer would be required given the use-case of the drug is different than it's intention, but she does not know for sure if this would be required. Dr. Lust has her contact information. She is waiting in the wings, if put into action she will instruct the pharmacy to do the appropriate investigation and put the wheels in motion to make it happen. She also told me that Princess Margaret is the likely the only institution in the country capable of doing this type of advanced work in the Myeloma field. I will add:Hospitals in Canada are chronically underfunded, and a donation may grease the wheels. I would consider this and be up front with a proposal in conversations you have with senior members of the hospital executives."


I want to know if this is still happening in our country. I want to know if wheels are being greased in Canada for elite Americans.

As most of you know - I am a left of center Canadian - so Trump is not my cup of tea. But from what I see in this case - the Clinton brand is also of no value to Canada.

The absolute belief that the privileged deserve more has no place in our country and the Clinton's and her team should well remember that.

Our federal government needs to investigate this activity and assure Canadians that this activity is not acceptable.

Our national media needs to get to the bottom of this.
