The Wall Street Journal a few weeks ago put out some numbers on the contributions by the health care industry to the presidential candidates. The numbers show you can’t fit into one category the political persuasions of this industry. Both democrats and republicans seemed to enjoy the favor of health care’s corporate contributors. John Edwards was missing in action from most of the list (no surprise there) with the exception of Kaiser Permanente. This ‘love-you-all’ line up will be interesting to follow as the field of candidates starts to narrow down. As you know, following the money is one good test to find out what direction the political wind is coming from, and who is on the receiving end.
