The six GOP House representatives from Alabama that voted in favor of the recently passed American Health Care Act (AHCA) received $279,600 in campaign contributions from insurance companies since 2012.

The data, provided by Open Secrets, a bipartisan and independent online organization, also showed that Alabama Democrat Rep. Terri Sewell received $35,000 since 2012. She voted against the AHCA.

The data used combines the top 20 donations to the respective House member's campaigns and Leadership PACs.

Of the $314,600 total, $269,000 came from Blue Cross Blue Shield, while a further $45,000 came from the American Family Life Assurance Company (AFLAC), the country's largest provider of supplemental insurance.

All donations listed come from Blue Cross Blue Shield aside from a $5,000 donation to Roby's campaign from AFLAC in 2014 and AFLAC donations to Rogers' campaign to the tune of $15,000 in 2012, $15,000 in 2014 and $10,000 in 2016.

While the new bill still has to pass in the Senate before being negotiated to a conclusion by members of Congress, it's unclear if the bill in its current form will benefit insurance companies or not.

Rep. Bradley Byrne, who has received $45,500 from Blue Cross Blue Shield since 2014, said in a statement to AL.com that such campaign contributions did not buy his favoritism because, according to him, the insurance industry did not favor the AHCA bill.

"I was pleased to vote for a bill last month that passed the House with a bipartisan majority stripping insurance companies of protection from anti-trust laws and look forward to voting for a bill allowing all of us to purchase health insurance across state lines so that we have real competition in the health insurance markets," he said. "Given the criticism of the insurance industry toward our plan, I don't think the insurance industry has any expectation of favoritism from me."

However, independent insurance experts have indicated that it's too early to make a firm opinion on whether or not the bill favors insurers.

Analysts from the Jeffries Group wrote in a research note that they see the current bill as a net negative for Medicaid, positive for Medicare Advantage and mixed for commercial insurance companies. Fitch Ratings, one of the country's biggest credit rating agencies, said that it would give a negative outlook for the insurance industry in 2017 because of regulatory uncertainty that had loomed over the industry since the election in Nov. 2016. A note from Standard & Poor's offered a neutral outlook for the industry, expecting insurance companies to adapt to any new rules that come with AHCA.

A statement from Blue Cross Blue Shield in the aftermath of the House vote said that "Americans are best served by a competitive, private health insurance market that offers people the choices they want at a price they can afford" and that it was "committed to ensuring that everyone, including those with pre-existing medical conditions, can access coverage that is affordable for them."

While the U.S. Senate is expected to write its own version of the bill, Senate Republicans, vital to the passing of the bill, are already criticizing the House's version. However, if it does pass the, the Senate and the House will have to negotiate on any differences before voting on it one more time. Then it goes to President Donald Trump who will pass it into law.
