UnitedHealth executives donate heavily to Rep. Katherine Clark as No Surprises Act debate intensifies
UnitedHealth Group's senior leadership, including CEO Stephen Hemsley, recently made sizable campaign contributions to Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts.
Clark, the House Democratic leader who just won a closely contested primary, received the donations as part of a broader cash influx from the insurer.
The contributions come amid a heated debate over the No Surprises Act, which aims to curb surprise medical billing, and UnitedHealth's role in that policy discussion.
The story was reported in STAT's Health Care Inc. newsletter, highlighting the intersection of health-care financing and politics.
