I am sure big pharma just loved his 'stand' on health care.

And then:
While ACGm (a lobbying firm,) paid Santorum $65,000 in 2010 as a “consultant,” ACG worked with clients on stimulus issues. For instance, the West Penn Allegheny Health System paid Santorum’s firm tens of thousands to help with “Health issues in the Stimulus Bill.”

Rick Santorum, 'Stealth Lobbyist'

Santorum also joined the board of Universal Health Services Inc. (UHS), a publicly traded health-care management firm that owns hospitals and healthcare facilities around the country. The company paid him nearly $400,000 in director fees and stock options before he stepped down from the board last year. The company has long served as a source of political support for Santorum, with company CEO Alan B. Miller serving as a major contributor to the senator and, now, presidential candidate.

And this isn't all. Stealth indeed.

Get over yourself.
Politics costs MONEY!

Any candidate that you support will obtain similar financing.
