Take out your own private health insurance like the rest of us who know we will need our bodies fixed.
How far back do they want to go? 25 years when I was playing JR reps and injuries stopped my career, ffs it’s just part of life.
I get it but sometimes athletes do get excluded from things like health funds or from making certain claims, just like some high risk professions are excluded from Life or disability insurances due to the nature of their work.
So it’s not as easy as saying “just get your own health insurance” (but would be good if it was).
Insurers either won’t insure or make the premiums unbelievably high that it is not affordable.
I think the idea of 1-2% of players wages (or a sliding scale eg 1% from minimum wages players, 1.25% for mid range 1.5% from higher end and 2% for the $8-900+ or something like that) go towards a RLPA run health fund might work.
