Transparency: HMO Donations to the U.S. Senate

Health care reform is currently a major issue before the U.S. Congress. Health insurance providers-who stand to become more regulated or have to compete with a government-run health care service if certain reforms are enacted-currently donate massive amounts of money to the members of Congress who will decide the issue. Our latest Transparency is a look at how much money each U.S. senator is taking from HMOs, and how much money the HMOs are taking from their consumers.SOURCES Health Care for America Now; Opensecrets.org; Senate.govA collaboration between GOOD and Newhouse Design.

UPDATE: We've corrected the errors. You can see the uncorrected graphic here.
