The AMA lobby group and who they contribute campaign dollars to

I decided to go digging into who the top lobby groups are during the 2024 election cycle. The grilling of RFK Jr by people who have taken in large amounts of pharma dollars led to my curiosity.

So, the top 10 list of lobby group donors in 2024:

What is concerning here is that in the top 10, there are 6 that are tied to healthcare. Blue Cross/Blue Shield? Donating $20+ million?

The American Medical Association (AMA) really piqued my curiosity. Because they are a mouth foaming set of rabid dogs that want their agenda as a top priority. Below is their top 10 donation recipients:

No surprise here. Healthcare is very blue. They also know who they can control on the opposite side of the aisle and contribute accordingly.

Of further interest….look at the last 20 year trend in congress:

In the House: Notice how the demographic of donating shifted over 20 years. It was widely red in the 1990’s. And then suddenly in 2006-2008 it swung blue. And while that did rebound slightly in 2010, they have been fairly equal since.

The senate is even more interesting. Same nosedive to the opposite party in 2008. Then it shifted again with the first Trump administration.

If you ever wondered just how corrupt both sides of the aisle truly are when it comes to the medical industrial complex……..there you have it. But remember, we are supposed to drop the politics now and just play nice in the sandbox.
