Political ProfileWhere DHR sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: High regulatory density (85) from 8 healthcare bills and doctor payment exposure ($4.6M in 2024). EVIDENTIARY: Active congressional trading (3 members, 16 trades) and two executive branch holdings, but zero lobbying spend, zero corporate insider buys, and no federal contract history. Net: Evidentiary activity is offset by lack of structural political investment.
