Union: NFL will stop health care in March

St. Paul, Minn. — The NFL has told the players’ union that it will stop providing health care for players and their families in March if the two sides do not reach a new collective-bargaining agreement.

During an appearance with Minnesota Vikings fans on Tuesday, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said he was working to figure out a plan to ensure medical coverage for players and their families should they be locked out.

We will have over 100 players who will have children who are born in the March, April, May timeframe. Right now all of those players need health insurance.”
