Karen Ignagni, CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, the advocacy group for the majority of U.S. health insurers, has given $48,550 in campaign donations since the 1996 election cycle, according to a profile of her giving detailed by the Center for Responsive Politics today.

Though prior to AHIP Ignagni worked for Democrats and the AFL-CIO, the health association executive's giving leaned slightly more Republican. The Center says 55 percent of her donations went to GOP candidates and parties since the 1996 election cycle.
