I don't want to sound harsh here, but you're not really dealing with reality. Did you say your "parents" worked 2 jobs to provide you with health insurance and in the same breath say it wouldn't be fair to wait two weeks for an appointment. My God, talk about a spoiled brat. Wait untill you have to fend for your self and find medical on your own. Now that you've had cancer. you'll probably have a hard time finding anyone to insure you. That may be when the light comes on, hey I'm un-insureable and my cancer may come back. Then maybe the chance of a national health care system that wouldn't discriminate against cancer survivors might seem viable, one paid for by taxes that are collected from everyone, you may have to wait a couple a weeks, but they won't be dumping you in the streets like they're doing in LA right now. BTW, I'm pretty sure your parents have to pay excessive amounts to insure you as a cancer survivor, and when you hit 21, it's bye-bye insurance. They'll drop you like a hot potato. Insurance companies study their risks, and when it is great, they don't insure, or if they do, it is priced out of reach. I wish you well and a long and successful life. My wifes lifelong friend has cancer and we've watched her waste away. We're taking her on a colorado mountain vacation next mo. Might be her last.
