Aetna's PAC covers it's bases - donating to both parties on both state & fed levels
Here is their 2008 report:

http://www.aetna.com/about/aoti/aetna_pac/2008PACannualreport.pdf

Contribution Policy & Criteria

The Contributions Committee is composed
of state and federal government relations
personnel. It considers a number of criteria
when making contribution decisions: the
candidate’s understanding of and support
for the free enterprise system; the candidate’s
need for Aetna PAC assistance; the presence
of Aetna employees, facilities or resources in
the candidates district or state; the candidate’s
demonstrated leadership or potential for
leadership; the candidate’s committee
assignments and seniority within Congress
or state government; the candidate’s
involvement with and position on issues
affecting health care and related group
benefits; the likelihood of the candidate’s
election success; and recommendations by
Aetna PAC members.

1. they do this - but to listen to some it just IS NOT possible that they
hire people to literally push for a bill that will actually give them more profits and LESS competition.

Yeah, I see the logic in THAT argument.
