Daschle Paid $220,000 By Health Care Industry

February 3, 2009 | ISSUE 45•06

President Obama's pick for secretary of Health and Human Services, Tom Daschle, has received almost a quarter million dollars in speaking fees from various health care companies over the past two years. What do you think?

  • Daschle got screwed. Health insurance providers can afford a lot more than that.

  • It's still not as bad as the $400,000 that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has received from the geyser and hot springs lobby.

  • I don't think that would conflict with the traditional health secretary’s role of failing to reform health care.
