Is it wrong to ask my bf to help me pay for my medical expenses?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) January 11th, 2012

Okay, so I have another question about this topic but it’s different than the one asking if I should sue the company.

Anyways, we got into a car accident 3 months ago and I’m still experiencing pain. I only have $650 left from the insurance, the rest went to the hospital bill/ambulance which is ridiculous.

I found a place in my hometown that seemed very friendly and said they’d work within my budget. Also when I run out of the 650 that the flat rate is $38. It doesn’t seem so bad but I guess it can add up if you go once a week.

Anyways, is it wrong to ask my bf to help pay half the cost? He has a decent job for his age and I make little money and I have no health insurance. When we were at the hospital he did mention one point that he’d pay and that it’d be unfair if I did but he was probably talking about the ambulance/hospital room not the expenses of treatment afterward.

If I were to ask I’d ask him, “I’m going to get treatment with the $650 left, and if I am not better in time after the money is gone do you think you could help me pay half of the cost?”

I was an IDIOT and signed a waiver with the insurance company freeing them of liability for a measely $200. I’m young and naive, insult me but I learned from the mistake >_< I was just told from the agent it’s for my pain and suffering lol.
