Many former actors, lotto winners are also broke afterwards. Maybe a lot of millionaires go broke after the cash dries up and they continue their millionaire life style. The relation to medical bills seems unproven

Yes. In fact, two thirds of lottery winners are bankrupt within 5 years.

Still, medical coverage in the US generally sucks and I would hate to be saddled with medical bills following being a career athlete and no longer having the big NFL salary. I can't imagine it's happy fun times.
