H&R Block’s entire lobbying group was comprised of six separate lobbying firms involving 29 individual lobbyists, including Democratic super lobbyist Tony Podesta and his group — though there’s no public evidence Podesta’s firm lobbied for the Affordable Care Act on H&R Block’s behalf.
H&R Block lobbyists were seasoned tax policy veterans from both major political parties.
Twenty-five of the 29 had previously held government jobs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Next to the Podesta Group, H&R Block’s second-highest paid lobbying firm was Capitol Tax Partners, a highly touted lobbying team with Democratic and Republican tax policy veterans. Capitol Tax Partners did work to shape Obamacare on behalf of H&R Block, according to public disclosures.
