Should athelete receive free chiropratic care after retirement?

This is a difficult question, as there is no such thing as free stuff. Someone always has to pay! - Are you asking if the government should use our tax dollars to pay for retired athletes chiropractic care? - Are you asking if chiropractors should donate their time to treat retired athletes? - Are you asking if insurance companies should pay for chiropractic care for retired athletes (right now most insurance companies already pay for chiropractic care for athletes and non-athletes). In all three of these cases, someone still has to "pay", so its never "free". The question becomes, who should pay? Chiropractors? Athletes? The public (via taxes)? Insurance companies?
