Yuvi has cancer but gets financial help from government, BCCI, Sahara and IPL

Our cricketer Yuvraj Singh is being treated for lung cancer in USA. We the people pray to God for his good health. You are a hero. I wish you best of wishes and speedy recovery.

But everyone has jumped to help him. The Sahara group will pay his fees for Pune Warriors even though he wont be playing. The Government of India has said it will pay for his treatment. The BCCI has already committed to support Yuvraj financially which is good.

But I cannot see the point of government financial support to him. He is to rich from IPL and advertisements; he does not need any help. What about the millions of cancer patients in the country. Who is going to help them?

There are thousands of more deserving cases even among sportsmen needing help. Why this benevolence for Cricketers only? Is this Govt is "of the rich people, by the rich people and for the rich people". On the one hand is the poor little Rajbala, who died in police attack in Ramlila Maidain.

Go Regional Cancer Center there you will see hundreds of people sitting on pavements for not having money to do a PET scan which will cost 20 thousand. Govt. health policy is only to those who are successful and powerful 1% of the population.

Wish him all the best and quick recovery. He's one of our best players. This should not be a surprise. There are millions who die of inadequate health care in India. Those who are rich and powerful will get further help from all quarters. The government should address the health of the nation particularly the poor and the vulnerable.

Thanks to all the drinking, parties, IPL parties, girls, smoking, & other things has led to this problem. There are hundres & thousands of people suffering & dying in India due to no drinking water, lack of medical facilities, poverty, corruption, lack of sanitation and Govt. turning blind eye to this.

Illness is a private thing but when the government spends money on something then it become a public thing. We all wish Yuvraj the best of wishes as he is one of our star players, a brilliant player by every standard.
