Political Contributions and Lobbying Efforts

March 26

The PAC profile shows that Magellan Healthcare raised $132,236 in the 2019-2020 election cycle. While political contributions are a standard part of corporate political engagement, the utilization of such funds can contribute to undue influence over policy-making processes. Given the left-leaning perspective that corporate political financing may support repressive policies and undermine democratic norms, this activity is evaluated negatively in terms of its potential complicity in authoritarian practices.
