Health Sector Contributions by Party (1990-2008) — Making Government Transparent and Accountable - Sunlight Foundation Blog

Health Sector Contributions by Party (1990-2008) — Making Government Transparent and Accountable - Sunlight Foundation Blog: "Beginning in the 1990 election cycle, Democrats received a slightly larger share of health sector contributions than Republicans, despite the Republican Party’s pro-business positions. This spread stays the same through the 1992 election, which included the election of the Democratic President Bill Clinton. Clinton’s push for comprehensive reform of the health sector in 1993-94 and the industry’s opposition to such reforms began to push their campaign contributions towards the Republicans. In 1994, Republicans surpassed Democrats in health sector contributions and retook both chambers of Congress."
