Do no harm: Who should bear the costs of retired NFL players’ medical bills?

The players union should pay for it. They are the ones responsible for negotiating a contract with the NFL that is in the players best interests. They easily could have asked for medical coverage even for ex players. They were more concerned with getting every cent they could from the owners. If the union says this situation was not foreseeable it really damages the lawsuit against the NFL.

I am all for helping the former players that made less than 1 million in their career. If they made a million bucks then they failed themselves by not saving it. The NFL is in no way obligated to protect the players from their own stupidity.
