==Political influence in the United States==
The top twenty pharmaceutical companies and their two trade groups, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and Biotechnology Industry Organization, lobbied on at least 1,600 pieces of legislation between 1998 and 2004. According to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, pharmaceutical companies spent $900 million on lobbying between 1998 and 2005, more than any other industry. During the same period, they donated $89.9 million to federal candidates and political parties, giving approximately three times as much to Republicans as to Democrats.〔(Drug Bill Demonstrates Lobby's Pull - washingtonpost.com )〕 According to the Center for Public Integrity, from January 2005 through June 2006 alone, the pharmaceutical industry spent approximately $182 million on Federal lobbying.〔(Pushing Prescriptions - The Center for Public Integrity )〕 The industry has 1,274 registered lobbyists in Washington D.C. 〔(USATODAY.com - Drugmakers go farthest to sway Congress )〕
