Fraud...it is a Felony and you will go to Prison I first would consider getting a job with insurance in Most convelesent homes where the jobs take no experience and little or no education they usually have insurance you need to get a job with insurance and then have surgery you are at the desperate point in your life and ready to do what ever is nessesary to obtain this surgery but using your friends insurance sounds good but has too many ever lasting consequences

Well this isn't even for the person who posted the question but, for the first person who answered it. I feel offended. I Work in a nursing home and you make it sound like someone can walk in off the street and do my job. If that is true and it is so easy to do WHY isn't everyone doing it then? For most places the pay sucks and the insurance is even worse. Why is it that those who take care of our loved one are paid the least? Just my opinion and felt the need to reply to the poster.

That would be called "fraud" and if you were caught the surgeon, the hospital, and the insurance company would all bring legal action against you and against your friend. I don't see how you would pull it off anyway. Past medical history is used in determining ones suitability for surgery and since you and your friend have differnt bodies and medical histories, you'd be found out pretty early in the game.
