"Whether because of his outspokenness or in spite of it, Wilson is a major recipient of contributions from the health care industryhttp://rawstory.com/08/news/2009/09/10/obama-speech-disrupter-a-health-industry-darling/.
In fact, over his entire congressional career, health professionals represent Wilson’s top industry contributors, donating a total of $244,196 to his campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics OpenSecrets.org database. He received another $86,150 from pharmaceutical companies, $73,050 from insurance companies and $68,000 from hospitals and nursing homes.
Among Wilson’s top contributors are the American Hospital Association, a lobby group that represents the interests of hospitals and health networks, and the American Medical Association, which represents physicians."
