I love how people vote against their interests.
This is $86 million of your money wasted to keep control of profits.
$86 million that could have helped those who have been paying their insurance.
$86 million that could have helped save a life or a couple 100.
$86 Million is quite a bit of money that could help the sick.
$86 Million squandered on greed.

Health insurers last year gave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce $86.2 million that was used to oppose the health-care overhaul law, according to tax records and people familiar with the donation.
The insurance lobby, whose members include Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Philadelphia-based Cigna Corp., gave the money to the Chamber in 2009 as Democrats were increasing their criticism of the industry, according to one person who requested anonymity because laws don’t require identifying funding sources. The Chamber of Commerce received the money from the Washington-based America’s Health Insurance Plans when the industry was urging Congress to drop a plan to create a competing public insurance option.
Neither the Chamber of Commerce nor AHIP would answer questions on the donation beyond their statements.
