Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton is in ICU. Her daughter posted Instagram post asking for donations, specifically stating (a) she won't disclose details of her condition, and (b) she is not insured.

Sure, honey.....happy to help. Your Mom was irresponsible (and even breaking the law) by not having health insurance.....fellow citizens will just send money to help.
