If Bush's aide can't afford health care, we are all in big trouble
White House mouthpiece Tony Snow resigned earlier this morning, saying he was having financial problems due to his treatment for cancer.
Snow is paid $168,000, much less than he made in his previous job as a television commentator. Married with three children, he said he took out a loan to work at the White House and the money has run out.
Something is seriously wrong with our health care system if a six-figure salary and a federal job isn't enough to afford cancer care. What chance do the rest of us have?
