My brother-in-law has a herniated disc and collapsed disc in his back but no health insurance. He has gone to the ER on numerous occasions and all they will do is write prescription for steroids and pain killers. We are trying to find a way for him to get the problem fixed. All the ortho. surgeons we have tried expect payment up front or health insurance, neither of which is an option.
HELP! He is so much pain he can barely move. He is only 22 yrsd old and can't even work or live on his own. We live near York, PA.

Has your brother in law tried applying for disability status? Is he qualified for medicare? Social Security? How did he get injured initially? Is he a student? Has he seen a chiropractor?

If you are seriously hurt, you will just have to pay the hospital. That's why its always safe to have heath insurance. You never know, the cost of certain medical treatments could be VERY expensive.

Try contacting your local Department of Family and Children services about Medicaid.

I pay over 500 a month for my insurance so people who don't work, like this guy, dont have to pay for their own.
