Woman denied Lupus medication, thanked for 'sacrifice' for coronavirus patients

A 42-year-old woman from the Los Angeles area who’s diagnosed with lupus said her health care provider stopped filling her prescription for chloroquine – and sent her a message thanking her for her “sacrifice” to help treat those seriously ill with the coronavirus.

The woman identified only by her first name Dale said she received a message from Kaiser Permanente, a major health care provider based in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday informing her that the company was reserving its current supply of plaquenil/hydroxychloroquine. The drug would be used to treat those "critically ill with COVID-19" amid shortages caused by the global pandemic, it said.

"The fact that they thanked me for my 'sacrifice' is disturbing," Dale told BuzzFeed News. "I never agreed to sacrifice my health and possibly my life, and cannot believe that I am being forced to do so." -- excerpt, rest at link above --

"Thank you for your sacrifice." Chilling.

Oh fuck me please with this bullshit. My sister has Lupus and she has no problem with getting her meds.

Or a California issue.

This doesn't pass the smell test. But we will never know. The "drive bys" will never return

Could be a bunch of bullshit. Let's see if there are similar stories that come out.
