John Knowles said taking disability leave would have meant living on about 70 percent of Mary Ann's regular paycheck

So John, what are you doing with yourself that prohibits you from earning 30% of what your sick wife earns??? Need an allowance to shoot pool and hit the tavern until she comes home from her job?? Loser!

What do you want to bet this couple owns two new SUVs, and they need the wife's full salary to pay off the loans? Not to pick on SUV owners, but I'd bet the equivalent of 30% of this woman's income that they're a couple that lives way beyond their means, and he won't let his wife go on disability because it would destroy the float they need to keep paying the minimum amounts on all of their monthly credit card bills.
