Stage 2-type A (whatever that means. ) Best case scenario(if you're gunna have a malignant colon cancer.) Appears totally isolated to that one area. Colon was almost totally blocked. Doctor, and Health Net were playing games the whole way. So, he had to go to another gastroenterologist and surgeon. Everything got done real fast,then. None of that(surgery, hospital stay etc.) was done using his insurance. If he had waited for his Healthnet-Covered doctor to give a damn, then the surgery would of been about Christmas, and it may have spread to the lymph nodes by then. His parents had the money to throw at this. Would of been a lot different if they didn't.

Great story and good for your friend. A year or 2 from now they may have had to wait to be Govt approved no matter what money they had or how hard they worked for it.

What a bunch of ridiculous nonsense. Get up to speed on the whole "healthcare" debate, and what it actually entails, would you?
