He’ll do just fine there. Probably put up a lot better stats.

he would have been Fran's type of guy -- versatile, can score, doesn't necessarily like defense or rebounding, can run. Just not the guy for CBM and maybe didn't want to be the guy that CBM wanted.

I think he was good, and could have been great with another year, but he probably isn’t worth the money he could get.

A GoFundMe? GTFO. How about Fran covers that. Or his employer continues paying him wages. The guy took a salary for 15 years at Iowa that had to have been north of 100K.
Or, how about we live in a country where if you have a medical issue you don't have to fear going bankrupt. It's not like this is a simple issue for anyone, even if he saved a ton of money. If you read the Go Fund Me, he's basically incapacitated and needs to have 24/7 care. That would break the savings of even well off responsible people.

People get old. The honorable thing to do at that age is wander into the north woods and return to nature.

Also, wtf hes an old retired white collar guy with a family, after years in the public sector, does UIowa not have a pension? Or did he get fired when fran got the ax? Either way, should be bear food.

Yeah, it’s quite disappointing that that guy didn’t have bags of cash hidden all over his house.

He worked there 15 years. Probably not enough to qualify.

I don't think he's doing this because he is cheap

I put my father in an assisted living facility with the help of Medicare. There was a three-week period where he switched Medicare plans and his stay wasn't covered, so I had to pay for it out of pocket. Over $300/day and $10,000/mo.

The amount of money spent in this country keeping old people alive is staggering.

This is easier said than done. Assisted suicide is illegal so someone needs to do it before a medical incident puts them in the hospital nursing home pipeline

Gosh a whole hundred thousand? Given that salary, you're right that it's pathetic he isn't self-insured.

Why doesn't Bill Gates pay your medical debt because Windows Vista sucked back in the day and he can afford it?

Great effing logic, not to mention empathy
