Bianca Balti denounces: ‘I can’t find cancer drugs in the US, it’s unacceptable.’

The supermodel recounts on Instagram the difficulties in finding life-saving pills for her cancer treatment, accusing insurance companies and pharmacies in the US of serious inefficiencies

Bianca Balti breaks her silence with a direct and heartfelt complaint on social media. In a story posted on Instagram, the Italian supermodel, who has long divided her time between the United States and Italy, recounted the difficulties she is facing in finding the cancer drugs she needs for her treatment.

‘I am a cancer patient,’ Balti writes. ‘The drug I am waiting for is not optional, it is life-saving. I have a career, a life and responsibilities. I have to travel for work. But I can’t do it safely without the pills you are withholding.”

The message is clearly addressed to the American insurance system and the chain of pharmacies and pharmaceutical services responsible for supplying the medicine. The model says she is exasperated by the delays and the constant passing of responsibility.

‘I don’t usually do this, but I’ve run out of patience and time,’ Balti added, noting that she had spent hours on the phone “between one person and another.” ’No one is taking responsibility. No one is solving the problem. You are letting patients down when they need you most. And that is unacceptable.’

The post attracted a lot of attention among her followers and the general public, highlighting the difficulties in accessing medication even for those who, like her, have visibility and means. It is a cry for help that highlights a flaw in the American healthcare system, where bureaucracy and inefficiency can even jeopardise the continuity of life-saving treatment.
