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.
