(The numbers on the chart on this page were updated on August 4, 2009, to include 2009 second quarter campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures. Please note that all second quarter campaign finance reports are not in and we’ll be updating this chart next week when the info is more complete.)

If you’ve been following the money in the public health care debate with us for the last month, you’ve probably got a pretty good sense now where it leads. As Congress continues debating the issue, we’re making it even easier for you to keep track of the money by comparing the views of the big industries involved and some of the key players in each industry.

Check out how much money they’ve spent on lobbying expenditures in 2008 and in the first three months of 2009, the total they’ve given to lawmakers’ candidate committees and leadership political action committees since the start of the 2008 election cycle and which party they’re bankrolling. (Note: Because PACs may file either on a monthly or semi-annual basis in 2009, many PACs will be reporting for the first time on July 31st, so these figures are subject to change.)

Go to the link and see how much insurance companies are pouring in to DC. $144,738,590 for 2008 and 2009 with 54% going to the Dems and 46% to Republicans.
