In this chapter, we meet politicians who take is between $25,000 and $50,000 of special interest money per official from a source with a health care focus. It includes some familiar names, and the many of the more well-heeled Blue Dog Democrats in the House.

In Part III you met the members of congress who still have a profound financial interest in listening to special interests. It is important to know EVERYONE who has a financial interest in the process, which is why I am providing you with the complete list, rather than just the highlights.

Every elected official on Capitol Hill has a vote that counts. Usually they hide below the big targets. You should know how broad the impact of special interest money is in this crucial reform campaign.

Rank

In the next section, meet the heroes of Congress who elect to take less than $10,000, and then the final section, where you meet the gold standard... Congresspeople who take less than $5,000 from special interests in the health-care or insurance arena!
