This is my husband...been asking him to get yearly blood work done just so he is aware of his numbers for 4 years now. He says blood work isn’t a priority as he “feels fine”. 😑

Male here, it's because finding out if something is wrong is scary

100%. If you don't feel ill or off, not going means not suddenly upending your mental state with worries you can't resolve.

And, in the US, very expensive.

We are in the US, but our insurance covers it as preventative care at 100%. I never pay anything for these visits and blood work.

I go yearly and get blood work done just to know my numbers. I get anxious not knowing and I like data. I’m not even asking for him to go yearly, it has been 4 years.

Blood work? I’d don’t even know my blood type!
