Thx to @pluribus-unum.co for reminding me: Venus Williams Admits She Came Back to Tennis at Age 45 for the Health Insurance.

"I had to come back for the insurance, they informed me earlier this year, I'm on COBRA," Williams, 45, told interviewer Rennae Stubbs, as they laughed along with the crowd. "So that's like, I got to get my benefits on. Started training."

"She's actually not lying about that, cause we talked about that six years ago," Stubbs replied. "You're actually telling the truth. Insurance is hard."
