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?


“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.”
