Question: I have a friend that was diagnosed with some rare form of bone cancer in his spine. He’s 40. The tumor is about the size of an apple, and he’s been in chemo the last three months to reduce the size, then he’ll go into surgery in a month to get the rest of it out. He has insurance but we’re having a fundraiser for him this Sunday. My question is doesn’t the ACA prevent his insurance company from capping their payment amount? Another friend said that our friend is trying some kind of experimental technique and the insurance company is not obligated to cover it. So, for the most part, isn’t the ACA a good thing for my friend as far as the majority of the cost of the treatment? Sorry so long, but I have a lot of questions about it. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!
