Report: Insurers gave US Chamber $100 million to fight healthcare reform
By Sam Baker - 06/13/12 01:38 PM ET

Insurance companies gave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce more than $100
million to fight Democrats' healthcare reform effort, according to a
report in National Journal.

America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the insurance industry's
leading trade group, did not directly launch an offensive against
healthcare reform during the year-long legislative debate over
healthcare. But AHIP quietly diverted millions of dollars to the
Chamber, which aggressively attacked the healthcare bill and Democrats
who supported it.

The transfers do not have to be disclosed as lobbying or political
contributions and are discernible only from a close review of tax
records.


Bloomberg initially broke the news that AHIP had transferred roughly
$88 million to the Chamber during 2009. National Journal's report says
AHIP gave the Chamber another $16 million in 2010, bringing the total
to more than $102 million.
