"The Kerrys’ investment funds bulked up on:
1. More than $500,000 of Johnson & Johnson
2. As much as $1 million of Pfizer
3. At least $200,000 in Oxford Health Plans
4. Between $500,000 and $1 million in United Health Group
5. At least $100,000 of Cardinal Health
6. At least $240,000 of Merck
The result: after the bill was signed into law in 2004, some of the Kerrys’ investments were sold, which netted between $100,000 and $1 million from Oxford Health Plans, plus tens of thousands from Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Cardinal Health."
