Daschle Paid $220,000 By Health Care Industry
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?
Frank Watson,
Loan Collector
"Daschle got screwed. Health insurance providers can afford a lot more than that."
Leslie Adelman,
Unemployed
"It's still not as bad as the $400,000 that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has received from the geyser and hot springs lobby."
Rory Kasel,
Travel Nurse
"I don't think that would conflict with the traditional health secretary’s role of failing to reform health care."
