JFF : Where is the national pride to support Shelton ?

[Rockman]

Healthcare will quickly run through your lifetime savings solely due to inflated pricing,Govt should be the ideal regulator, and would have been had it not been for The special arrangements it afforded itself.
They left us to fend for ourselves.

[OJ]

The gov gave 50 million.

[Rockman]

Without the assurance it will act in kind should another former player have similar medical needs.

[Bricktop]

hence purchasing long term care insurance...

[HL]

.......and former players should learn that investing in themselves after making millions is a must. That include long term health insurance

A player has a short time to ply their trade. The majority of their lives come after they retire.

This is a teachable moment.

BrickTop, you are right again! I dont know why you bother with these folks whose heads are as tough as rock............

[Rockman]

Lol,silly you, Shelton represents at best, less than 25% of former players, the other 75% being less fortunate financially speaking, are you not concerned about their plight?

Besides as a business owner,you shun the idea of providing healthcare coverage for your employees,why then should a soccer player pay for his healthcare but you wouldn't for employees you need in order to make money?
The eraser pen would prove handy for you right now, or,at the very least,crazy glue to fasten those lips of yours.

[HL]

Hehe....keep trying rock.

Government is the answer to all social problems. Govament must do this.... and govament should do dat....

Its you who need to cut this socialist bullshyte.

I will crazy glue my lips on this topik. I strongly suggest you do the same.

[Assasin]

People are only talking. Nobody know Luton insurance status. He has been sick for 2 years and didn't make it public until he couldn't hide it anymore. They didn't reach out to the government or anybody. The minister of sports contacted them and Mckenzie from West Kingston who know the family made a personal donation. Harbor View set up a gofundme page after approval from the family. The family didn't set one up. They contacted his former club but didn't go begging.

It is a sad case and people are contributing because of Shelton's contribution to the nation. This is a sad case as with Cobra as medication can do so much and not much more. All the best to Luton.

[HL]

Assasin. I would say thank you for the information but i just crazy glued my gob....

[Assasin]

Rocky you are ahead of yourself. Who diagnose Luton status? Does Shelton have a private insurance or using government services?

I have not heard 1 complain from Luton or his family so let us just pray for the man. This is one of the worst form of sickness as not even the best doctor in the US can solve this so far. Kiddus to his wife and father to be at his side in the the time of the worst.

[Rockman]

I hear you, Assasin.

[OJ]

Yes and they gave none to Dino Williams ... is this a universal health care discussion, or less we forget and this may sound harsh but Luton was a pro player , so what about savings and insurance.
