Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton has been battling severe pneumonia in a hospital intensive care unit, daughters of the famed American gymnast said.
A Tuesday post on a crowd-funding page by Retton’s daughter, McKenna Kelley, characterized the Hall of Fame gymnast as being critically ill. Another daughter confirmed the illness to NBC News.
On the crowd-funding site, McKenna Kelley wrote: “My amazing mom, Mary Lou, has a very rare form of pneumonia and is fighting for her life. She is not able to breathe on her own. She’s been in the ICU for over a week now.”
You shouldn’t need health insurance. You should be able to get inpatient and outpatient care with tax payer funds and not walk away with a bill. As a country we should value the lives of the people living here more than we do.
You have been banned from c/Conservative.
If only we valued people for their inherent worth. You can see what a society values by what it spends on. Follow the money. Sounds like as escalated conflict somewhere is brewing that might keep funneling resources to the oligarchs.
