If Bush's aide can't afford health care, we are all in big trouble

| | Comments (0) |

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?
