New Report Details Healthcare Industry's Massive Spending in Presidential Campaign, Federal Lobbying
Friday June 22, 6:00 am ET
Findings Coincide with Release of 'SiCKO' and Call For End to Insurance Interference with Nation's Healthcare


WASHINGTON, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Massive spending by the healthcare industry is swamping the nation's political process, according to the findings of a new report issued today. It coincides with the premiere of Michael Moore's new documentary "SiCKO," a searing indictment of the U.S. healthcare system which opens nationwide June 29.
The research was compiled by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee's research arm, the Institute for Health and Socio-Economic Policy, based on a comprehensive analysis of publicly available and custom data sets from the Center for Responsive Politics.

CNA/NNOC released the report today as Moore joined nurses and doctors from around the U.S. in a New Hampshire town hall meeting on healthcare with undecided voters. "SiCKO" describes the heartbreaking, systemic denial of care by healthcare industry giants, and links it to escalating profits and the industry's hefty clout in Congress.
