Health sector puts its money on Democrats
Hard to believe a sector whose profits are threatened by Democratic campaign promises is pouring its money into those candidates! I guess it pays to get in goods with the enemy, or maybe there's something else going on? |
No, I don't think it is surprising. For one thing, the Dem's proposals do not eliminate private insurers (unfortunately). If the country adopts a Clinton or Edwards type plan insurers will probably benefit with increased enrollment. The health care industry wants a seat at the table in shaping the next form for health care in America. They would be fools not to give the Dems money. If not for Iraq, it would be the no.1 concern for Americans. The current system is unsustainable and the Repubs. should know this.
