My fiancé injured himself playing basketball a few weeks ago. We are going into the dr. For MRI results today. So far, we have had to pay everything out of pocket, as he has no health insurance. We are currently estimating medical costs at $1200, and then losses of about $2000 since he hasn't been able to work since the 9th. We filed for disability, but sadly don't qualify for low income health plans because when he is able to work, he makes too much money.
I fear that in the instance we need further treatment for his knee, we won't be able to seek treatment because he is uninsured and no insurance will take us on now that this is a preexisting condition.
