HCA is a client on 15 federal lobbying filings, 2023 to 2026, reporting $1.1M across them. Based in Tennessee.
An LDA filing reports one registrant’s income from one client for everything they worked that quarter, so a total here is the sum of whole filings and never a price for one issue or one bill.
