Under The Influence: Key Health Care Lobbyist Shells Out Cash http://undertheinfluence.nationaljournal.com/2009/07/key-insurance-industry-lobbyis.php?rss=1 en Copyright 2011 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:23:14 GMT http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Key Health Care Lobbyist Shells Out Cash Karen Ignagni.jpg

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.

See the Center for Responsive Politics profile here.

I mean, what you say is important and everything. But its got no punch, no pop! Maybe if you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a more powerful blog if you let people SEE what you’re talking about instead of just reading it. Engagement Rings
