What lobbyists are opposed to universal healthcare?

It seems to instead be merely a wedge issue in culture war. Republicans firmly oppose it, Democratic politicians fight for it, and apparently voters don't care enough to advocate for what they say they want in polls.





Off the top of my head:

- The Partnership for America's Health Care Future

- American Hospital Association

- U.S. Chamber of Commerce

- Various lobbying organizations related to private insurance and adjacent systems, like pharmacy benefit management organizations

Politico has a great article about the Medicare For All fight[0]

The opposition spent hundreds of millions of dollars fighting it.

Thanks for this article, it's great! Back from before Politico became so one-sided partisan...
