Shareholders of HCA Healthcare, the Nashville-based for-profit operator of health care facilities, are asking for more transparency regarding the company’s political spending and lobbying, though board members are opposed to the move.

Shareholder John Chevedden, a self-proclaimed “shareholder activist,” is asking HCA to produce a bi-annual report disclosing direct and indirect contributions made to political candidates and other political endeavors, as well as policies and procedures around those decisions. This would include the names of the recipients and the amount given, as well as the title of the person in the company responsible for the decision.
