We should also look at the nine RINOs in the Florida Senate. For example, J.D. Alexander, the Senate Majority Whip, received a portion of his campaign finance from different firms in the medical business. Here is a list of contributors in 2004. (Florida law must cap the maximum contribution at $500; most of these contributions were of the presumed maximum.)

United Healthcare Corporation, Minneapolis, MN
Priority Healthcare, Tallahassee, FL
Humana, Louisville, KY
The Towers Pharmacy, Pensacola, FL
Morton Memorial Health Systems, Stuart, FL
HCR - Manor Care, Toledo, OH
Northport Health Services, Tuscaloosa, AL
Radiology PAC, Mt. Dora, FL
Tenet Health Systems, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Florida Society of Anesthesiology, Tampa, FL*
Healthease, Tampa, FL*
Wellcare of New York, Tampa, FL*
Harmony Health Plans, Tampa, FL*
Well Care Comprehensive Health, Tampa, FL*
Well Care HMO. Tampa, FL*
First Choice Health Insurance, Tampa, FL*
Florida Osteopathic Medical Association, Tallahassee, FL

* All of these companies operate out of the same address and office suite in Tampa.

It would be interesting to see if there are affiliations between Senator Alexander's contributors and the owners of the hospice where Terri Schiavo or the medical related interests of Mr. Felos (Michael Schiavo's attorney) and Judge Greer.
