I know she was divorced in 2018, but it seems odd that she wouldn't have health insurance.


I agree that this is bizarre, how old is she? Too young for Medicare?

Medicare starts at 65. She’s 55.

Surprised to hear her net worth that high and lacking insurance. Maybe she was working for USAG for a bit then left and the insurance stopped? I don't know...

I hope she gets this behind her soon.

There was a famous USSR gymnasts from just before her era, Shushunova, she died of pneumonia, iirc. She was much younger.

That shite is hideously expensive if you make too much to qualify for Obamacare subsidies, and even moreso if you're self employed, which she probably was. I can definitely see someone in that situation rolling the dice.
