Doesn't Bernie Sanders Have a Gimmick for This?

This:

Oncologists in Montreal and across Canada are alarmed by a chronic shortage of three essential cancer drugs, and in the case of one of the medications, do not know when it will become available again.

The scarce drugs, all delivered intravenously to patients, are Vinorelbine, approved by Health Canada for non-small lung cancer and metastatic breast cancer; Leucovorin, used to decrease the toxic side effects of two other chemo drugs; and Etoposide for lung cancer, malignant lymphomas and testicular cancer.

Dr. Gerald Batist, director of the Segal Cancer Centre at the Jewish General Hospital, said the lack of Leucovorin is the “tip of the iceberg.”

“It is a drug we commonly use, so its absence is serious,” Batist wrote in an email to the Montreal Gazette. “We are missing an even more important drug in Etoposide for the same reasons and for many months. Last week we learned that another important drug called Vinorelbine is on back order, and a new Canadian producer is being sought.”

The most serious shortage involves Vinorelbine, with no projected date for when supplies will resume.

Whither Bernie?
