“I had to come back for the insurance, they informed me earlier this year, I’m on COBRA,” Williams, 45, told interviewer Rennae Stubbs, as they laughed along with the crowd. “So that’s like, I got to get my benefits on. Started training.”
“She’s actually not lying about that, cause we talked about that six years ago,” Stubbs replied. “You’re actually telling the truth. Insurance is hard.”

Isn't she really wealthy by now? If she isn't, after all she's done and all her victories, then thats just an additional amount of frustration on top of our shared healthcare bullshit... She deserves to not have to worry about that, I'd have thought she could afford good health insurance.

NO ONE should have to worry about healthcare, regardless of who they are. If we can give billions of dollars to other countries to wage war, we can fund universal healthcare.

If someone who us worth millions of dollars is worried about potentially going bankrupt without insurance. That should be glaring alarm about how fucked up accessing healthcare in the US.
I saw this comment on a post about it..
i assume it will be biologic medication to treat her autoimmune and the news ones are quite expensive.
