    Not really, Insurance will cover some. Can't expect everything to be free.

    My guess would be he didn't have his own insurance, or that insurance had a cap. Brain surgery isn't cheap.

    The root of this problem is really the American health insurance problem, they need Universal Healthcare for all.

    But IMO the promoter should have been able to get him some type of insurance. Jay-Z will probably brag about how "business savvy" he is for not getting insurance in an upcoming album. Guy is scum.

    Never said their generation was slaves. But I can't even have a conversation with you if you are a White man that doesn't acknowledge that Blacks were oppressed well after slavery stopped. That's some of that right wing FOX news comment section type ****. You can find significant instances of Black oppression going into the last quarter of the 20th century even, and even into the current time. You seem to totally ignore that several hundred years of physical and mental slavery, with no proper reparation, or re-education for the masses can have a serious impact on the oppressed people generation after generation. And as far as the 5%, I'm not a scholar on the Nation of God's and Earth's, but every ethnic group, has criminal elements in it's impoverished populations. I find your seemingly extreme angst towards the 5%ers comical though, being as White oppression caused groups like them to prop up in the first place.

    Do you realize how many restrictions fighters have when choosing healthcare? They probably couldn't qualify for Medicaid or Medicare.

    It must be awesome to have a white oppression crutch to hang every shitty thing every race and ethnic group on planet earth has ever done on. What gave rise to the Russian, Ukrainian, Italian, Corsican, Irish Mafia. Hell's Angels, Mongols? The Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza, Cali Cartel, Medellin Cartel, MS-13 etc.? What's their excuse? Wait, let me guess, they don't have one, they're just scumbags, those criminal elements right? I don't have extreme angst towards the 5%ers, I have extreme angst against any criminal organization across the board, they're all scum, no one gets a pass, no one gets an excuse. They do not have to do what they do, the majority of the black community do not join gangs and become criminals, I know I grew up in one, they try to make it in this life the hard way, and sadly they're usually the ones who end up paying for it with their lives, sometimes numbering in the 1000's like in Chicago. Stop making excuses for pieces of **** acting like pieces of ****, they're pieces of ****. Try getting this passionate and start defending people worthy of a defense, like the countless victims of street gangs and drug dealers.

    Can anyone tell me why I was banned for alleged "race baiting", told I'm going to be permanently banned next time because I was in a discussion about the shitty BLM movement by an overzealous gimp of a Mod, yet Akbar One is okay to race bait himself by blaming "Whitey"?

    I'd just like to know please.

    Roc Nation appears to be corrupt as hell! Watch how Bob Bennett lied live on HBO about Rigo holding and hitting, then landing a big punch clearly after the bell, at least HBO called him on his lies. But the Kovalev/SOB fight not only was corrupt, HBO did not call SOB on the low blows, which were proven to be low, just watch the video and still pictures! Tony Weeks should be banned from boxing for life! Bob Bennett refused to even review the video. What was he afraid of? Well, he was afraid of the truth! If a fighter wins a fight fairly then I can accept that, but winning on low blows to the testicles is a disgrace and against the rules of boxing. SOB should have been disqualified! Kovalev probably has flat testicles now! Did you see Max try to cover for SOB?! Were those low blows or border low blows?, that's what Max said. Paulie told the truth, he said the blows were low and he had never seen a fight stopped like that. HBO lost money on SOB, glad they did!

    You think Franco doesn't qualify for disability? It's likely he qualifies for both.

    There is healthcare for all, atm. Whether Trump defeats the current system remains to be seen, but its likely. For now there is affordable healthcare for all. He wants to break the current system though lol, but that is a whole other crazy ass topic. I don't know wtf this thread is about, the hate for Jay-Z or a link to this guys gofundme...

    When I was consulting, and for ex. if I got hit by a car crossing the road, I wouldn't go complain at my headhunter about why they are not paying my bills, you know?

    Again, I didn't excuse criminal behavior, just pointing out that the 5%ers would never exist without the MAN's oppression. Not sure why that bothers you so much. Black groups that don't think much of Whitey came to be because of White oppression in this country. You are making a generalization of all criminal gangs. I'm specifically talking about the 5%ers.

    why dont fighters buy a health insurance policy or make it part of their contract. Or do they think it wont happen to me. like hormones and youth speaking.

    I wonder how many boxers dont have health insurance?

    ? I'm not familiar with all that. I just pointed out that Groups like the 5% came about as a result of White oppression. Had there been no history of that, there would be no 5% Nation. All I'm saying, nothing more, nothing less.

    Sounds like a deflection on your part. Nothing more, nothing less. I mentioned Jay Z's current connection to 5 % nation and you went on this incoherent and deflecting rant.

    Not at all. I'm not some huge Jay Z follower. I was commenting on the person who had some angst against the 5 Percenters. I'm not even familiar with Jay Z's connection there.
