national Football League is a company wound 100 per cent. Not one player leaves unscathed the NFL. Back problems, concussive issues, joint problems and adhesion plague our former players. While the average NFL career is less than 4 years, injuries stemming from the NFL often have long-term debilitating effects.

Depending on when they played some retired NFL can get a few years of health coverage through the NFL immediately after leaving the game. If players today in the round three seasons league, they can receive five years of health insurance when they retire. The problem is, some health problems do not manifest themselves for many years, and players who finish less than three seasons are on their own for coverage.

Historically, the health insurance industry was a world of refusal of former NFL players. When the players said they played a contact sport, all of a sudden, their injuries are not covered. Insurance companies could offer limited benefits to health that do not cover certain body parts that may have been wounded in the NFL as the back, hips, shoulders or knees. It was like receiving car insurance for driving. This left our guys responsible for the incredible medical expenses - high enough to deplete the bank account of even a professional athlete. This has prompted many old players to go without medical insurance.

Now the rules have changed. The issue of pre-existing conditions is an obstacle to affordable coverage for our former players. Under current law, no one - including the retired NFL - be denied health insurance due to injury or illness

affordable coverage is now available to 17,000 retired NFL estimated d be alive today, but many of them do. know where to start. It is important for these people to know that there are resources to help them get medical insurance they need.

I want former players to understand that they have access to full coverage and support of the free registration. Thanks to America's work on health care, powered by GoHealth, former players and their families can learn more about the impact of the new law on health care and connect with affordable health insurance. Thanks to America's work on health care, they have access to the service of the free health advocate so they can get answers to their personal coverage, claims and clinical issues that former NFLPA members Player.

health insurance options for the NFL Players have been redefined, and there is no reason for any of them to go without affordable health insurance. I encourage former NFL players to use the work of American health care and GoHealth to get coverage and protect their well-being for themselves, but more importantly, for their families.
