@dalkeybookfest – at Dublin City, Ireland
No better man than @thejasonbyrne to entertain the people on the top deck of a @GoAheadIreland #45A bus and bring a little bit of Ballinteer to Ballybrack. Fun night at The Yard with your conductor @ComedyGildea

Hi @irishlifehealth Please explain why you sent @MariaWatersDub a cheque for €122.43?
It was never ‘requested’!
The only ‘request’ we ever made was for you to honour her Insurance policy and cover the Pembrolizumab medication prescribed by her Doctors to treat her Stage4Cancer.

* @1xWaters here with the sad news that our inspirational Maria passed away unexpectedly at home on 2nd June 2020.
Our three children and I are so incredibly grateful to you all for standing with Maria in her quest to get #PembroForAll cancer patients.

Pembro (Keytruda)
-nown (Pharmacology)- medicine used for advanced cancers, made in Ireland. AUTHORISED for use in EU but ‘UNLICENSED’ in Ireland for treatment of all Cancers.
@HSELive @INFO_NCPE @SimonHarrisTD – patients with life-threatening cancers cant wait.

US cancer patients can get the ‘Made in Ireland’ drug Pembro for FREE
Irish Cancer patients have to PAY (up to €10k/treatment)
Not fair play from Global Pharma Co @MSDInvents
Hey MSD IRL, HELP Irish Cancer patients!
Why can't we have a Patient Assist Pgm here?
#pembroforall
The ‘Made in IRL’ drug Keytruda/Pembro is FREE to cancer patients in the USA.
Irish patients have to pay HUGE costs.
When @MSDInvents say “that no one should go without the medicines or vaccines they need” – they don’t mean the IRISH!

Got in touch with @MSDInvents IRL office.
5 weeks later @MariaWatersDub got this reply....
In a nutshell, “PFO – We don’t deal with you”
At a challenging time, a Stage4Cancer patient has another door slammed in their face.

Calling on @HIAuthority to exercise statuatory powers and “take such action as it considers appropriate to increase the awareness of members of the public of their rights as consumers of health insurance” See case of @mariawatersdub Ensure she gets MINIMUM cover not "NO COVER"
Robert Waters retweeted
As far back as 2016 @ProfJohnCrown has been calling for a fasttrack approval for #pembrolizumab. Why isn't Minister @SimonHarrisTD doing anything to approve this life-saving drug. Get the HTA done now and #savelives thejournal.ie/cancer-drug-de…

How much more can the women of this country take?
Just when you think you have heard it all... here we are again at the ‘tip of the iceberg‘ of Health Care Scandals in 2020.
#TonightVMTV #pembroforall @HSELive
44 women to 2 Toilets in @RotundaHospital ...how does that work ? To say I am shocked and disgusted is an understatement but that’s about me...how do the women manage at all @HIQA #rtept #TonightVMTV This needs serious immediate attention @rtenews Maybe...I misheard it
“We urge the Minister for Health and those responsible within the Department of Health, HSE and relevant agencies to fix this problem as a matter of urgency”

"end the access challenges impacting the care of our cancer (and other) patients who are being denied effective treatment because of exploitative monopoly pricing"

Cancer patients have been through enough already. They don't need the likes of @HSELive @INFO_NCPE & @irishlifehealth turning their backs when their #Cancer battle get tougher.
Stop the HealthCare Scandal of 2020. Give them #pembro which is Made in Ireland #pembroforall
I am very sorry to learn that @MariaWatersDub has this fight on her hands and you as a family member. It’s hard enough cope without this.
Everyone should put themselves in the place of @MariaWatersDub who received this letter from @irishlifehealth It's cold, heartless and dosent run with their stated ethos #heretohelp At least Maria's consultants had the guts to deliver bad news in-person.
Thank you for highlighting this despicable practice by some health insurers. This is something that will need to be raised with our new government.
