I'm not even sure he knows what a good health coverage plan really means or how important it is...but he's being taken care of...as for a place to live, etc...he lives with his mom and relies on extended family to take him to and from the Brown Cancer Center. Sure does sound to me like he's getting the treatment he requires, even without insurance.
