Title: Kai Greene out of the Olympia?
Post by: 240 is Back on July 11, 2008, 06:08:52 PM
Rumors abound that he tore something (hernia?) and he's out of the O?

The man should be cracking the top 6.  This is just a rumor, right?

Perhaps he got injured and lacked health insurance.

Vic Martinez wrote in MD that he didn't have health insurance, even after winning the ASC.

I'm betting Kai is wise enough to learn from Vic's mistake and has coverage.

What did he win, 30K there?

He could get great, complete comprehensive coverage for about $500 per month. No excuse.

Don't bet on it...so many of these guys live hand to mouth, even the top guys. It is a sad indictment of the sport and its athletes.

Hand to mouth and not making the investment in health insurance are two differnt things. Moosejoy is right. $500 a month is all it would cost to cover yourself. The BB though has to make that decision. Vic could have afforded it.

The Florida citrus grower's co-op agreed to include him in their group plan.
