Mary Lou Retton

I see from news reports that Mary Lou Return is very sick and her daughter is using several gofundme type sites to raise money for her bills as she has no health insurance. I felt for her right up until I read she has a custom built 9000 sq ft home in the Houston area. Sympathy vanished.

Why is this in The Bunker

It was and that was before 420

As long as she never kneeled during the national anthem I don’t have any issues with her. I seem to remember her campaigning for Reagan too. If she’s sick I hope she gets better.

I wonder why she doesn't have Obama Care aka Affordable Care from the governement.

It's easy to get, You have to pay or at least file taxes, maybe she doesn't file taxes, Kinda stupid not to have health insurance at her age. If she has zero income her cost would be free or almost free.

Her daughter is online begging for money for her mother

She could of easily gotten insurance

What part of the OP post didn't you get?

I don't know how Ms. Retton got to where she is at right now, but my heart goes out to a talented athlete struggling to breathe. If you have ever been hospitalized with pneumonia, you know the helplessness. God bless and keep you, Mary Lou.

Google says her net worth is $2m in 2023. So I'm sure that is a factor, not just income. But I agree, stupid not to have health insurance.

This article, published this month, says she is worth $8m..

Prayers for healing.

If that is accurate, they are pathetic for asking for money to pay for her hospital bills. Pretty dumb not to have insurance anyway.

Well said

Ts & Ps, MLR. Ts & Ps.

Or it's a money grab by some scammer (maybe even her daughter). Has it been confirmed that she is actually in the hospital? I question the validity of the entire situation if her net worth is in the millions.

She is actually in the hospital on a resperator. everything else is a guess.

I looked up rare pneumonia types, some of them are quite nasty, her prognosis might not be good. Let's pray that it's one of the more treatable types.

You can be sitting on millions and still qualify for Obamacare so long as your spending is kept in check. The cost is based on your annual taxable income.
