There are too many stories out there of former players, basically broke from medical bills and physically disabled, and dying off early.
How far would a $1 surcharge on every ticket go to help fixing the medical finances issue? Would it be practical?

I'd imagine that fans might not be too upset as ticket prices are always increasing and this increase would help some of their former heroes, or the sidekicks, who are in desperate need. Also, it wouldn't hurt the owners financially.
