Stage IV cc patient released from prison

That sucks for him
He at least had insurance while in the pen. They would have treated him. Now he's getting out and can't draw social security because he hasn't paid into the system and so he won't be able to get medicare. He won't be able to get insurance. Depending on the state he's from he might not be able to get Medicaid. He could probably win a court battle to extend his insurance benefits but that fight would take years. He might get some back pay for serving undue time. That might be as much as 50k a year. So he'll get a check for 800k. For a CRC stage 4 patient, that about 6-8 months worth of chemo and 1 liver resection surgery at most.
