Baucus is Bonkers
So does anyone else wonder why Baucus is being so forceful, and pushing forward a plan that requires everyone to have health insurance. I am.
Baucus's top campaign donor was Schering-Plough Corp ($76,000+), his fifth highest was Aetna Inc ($42,000+). In addition, his third largest contributor was KKR & Co ($47,000). Do you know what KKR&Co does? They do leveraged buyouts of many industries, but healthcare is included. Think they might be needed once the government get its fingers into health care? All in all, Baucus received over 1 million dollars in donations from Health Industries and Health Professionals. This was 10% of all of his donations. I would say that a 10% share in anything buys you some pull.
Baucus cares little about the people.
