On Tuesday, Cantor hosted a $1.1 million fundraiser at the Capitol Hill Club benefiting his 50 or so Republican lawmakers who make up the House GOP whip team ? a major haul that left members wide-eyed. That?s about $20,000 in lobbyist and political action committee dough for each of Cantor?s deputies.

It seems Cantor is at the pinnacle of all the interests trying to bust up attempts at health care reform.
Also, this was buried in another article on politico. Cantor is a top recipient of money from the health care industry:

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) got even more from insurers: $560,000 over a two-cycle span, $116,000 in the first two quarters of 2009, according to opensecrets.org.
