There's a lot of misinformation about how Sen. Clinton is rolling in cash from big pharma, HMOs, and the insurance industry.
Not true.
Fact is, she's not even on the list of the top 25 recipients of industry PAC money in 2006.
Notably, that list includes 17 Republicans, 7 Democrats, and Lieberman.
Tops? Ex-CT Rep Nancy Johnson (R), one of the prime movers of the Part D program with $790k. And now in retirement.

Part D: I walked away from information meetings on this subject thinking: could the D represent the deranged thinking of those who thought this bill was good for the average person?

But HRC is the 3rd highest and the highest seated pol for the 2006 cycle when health care PACs and individuals who work for the industry are included.
