Men are like Kids?!!!

Okay so I know this is more of a parenting site but, my husband is acting like a child. He hurt his back really bad and is crawling around our house. We don't have insurance so he refuses to go to the doctor. In his world money is more important than life itself, and in mine, its wonderful to have but, I believe true happiness is in family and love. I want him to realize that he is being a Jack*** and needs to go to the doctor. No we have no money, and yes it would/will cost probably thousands of dollars to get him back in working order, but is the cost really that important when it comes to his well being? How can I convince him that he needs to go before he paralizes himself? Any advice is welcomed!

The USA can't afford a health care plan right now. I think Jenn's hubby should go to a walk in med center and pay the bill for his treatment, even if it is done in payments. Our health is important. I had to cancel my health insurance and that is what I do when I need medical care. I don't have money either. Everyone seems to work with me during these tough times.
Jenn Kiessel said:Thankyou for the advice. It is appreciated. I have some friends that live in Canada chicko, spider, and whitey. They come here to Michigan every Deer season. We have all talked many times about a Health care program needed in Michigan/usa but, they also said that the canadian health care system has its flaws also, like that its really hard to get into a doctor and you can't get emergency care at an emergency room because the lines are so long. But I agree we need a change. I haven't had insurance in 15 + years. I just today accepted a low paying job mostly because in 90 days after my probationary period I will get insurance. Im so thankful for that. I need it badley and so does my husband. Well anyways thanks for the input and if you ever come down here to the great Northern Michigan, stop in Central lake and come visit me at the Blue Pelican Inn and Restaurant or just check it out at www.thebluepelican.com and click on one of the virtual tours. Take Care and once again thanks for the advice. Jenn
ECHOage said:Therein lies the reason why your country needs a health care program. I know that doesn't help, but it is insane that he can't get any treatment because it is too expensive.
Make sure he keeps moving, lying in bed all day is the worse thing for a bad back, my brother is a doctor and he always says, "motion is lotion" when it comes to bad backs. After he has a better range of movement, see if there is a community pool nearby where he can get started on a regular swimming routine. Swimming is a great for bad baks.
Good luck from up here in Canada
