“America’s Sweetheart” Olympian Fights For Life w NO HEALTH INSURANCE

Mary Lou Retton, the onetime Olympic gymnast who captivated a nation in winning gold at the 1984 LA Olympics, is reportedly suffering from a serious bout with pneumonia and is in the intensive care unit at a Texas hospital. Yet despite her fame the 55-year-old Retton reportedly has no health insurance, so her children have established a gofundme campaign to pay for medical expenses. Jimmy, The Convo Couch’s Craig Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the uniquely American circumstance of a former national “sweetheart” possibly impoverished by lack of medical coverage.
