Lotsa $$$

MSNBC just did a segment on just how much $$$ that senators who were drafting the healthcare bill took in campaign contributions from the Insurance and Pharma companies:

$471,560 Orrin Hatch
$433,400 Mitch McConnell
$382,100 Rob Portman
$354,616 Pat Toomey
and the list goes on - even senators like Ted Cruz that did not take a lot of money still TOOK money from Insurance /Pharma companies

(affiliated with guess who?) gave $27 million to right-wingers in 2015-16. They've been shown to support medical marijuana and oppose recreational mj at the same time. In other words, they want to make sure their interests benefit from control of the supply.

We do not see any of these Adelson donations anymore. Battle-Born Media(Sheldon Adelson)refuses to publish these stories or any other stories about the GOP in their Newspapers which controls all of the Media in Nevada.
