White House Regulars: Health Insurance, Pharma, Unions


Published On: November 28th, 2009

White HouseEnough already about the White House gate crashers. What we’re really interested in is the key health-care players who came to the Obama White House this year by invitation.

As it happens, the administration just released a bunch of names from its visitor list for the first several months of the year — you can search a nicely sortable list on the White House Web site.

Several health-care power brokers were frequent guests, as were leaders of a few business groups that have been deeply involved in the health-care debate, the WSJ notes. Here’s a list of a few regulars, and how many times they visited.

  • Karen Ignani, America’s Health Insurance Plans: Eight Visits
  • Dennis Rivera, health-care chair, SEIU: 10 Visits
  • Billy Tauzin, PhRMA: 11 Visits
  • John Castellani, the Business Roundtable: Eight Visits
  • Tom Donohue, U.S. Chamber of Commerce: 12 Visits

Here’s more coverage of the visitor lists from the Washington Post, New York Times and Politico.
