I dove into the FEC data, and it's pretty clear:

Grassroots health professional donors far prefer Sanders and Warren to Biden and Buttigieg. 1/

For doctors, donations went mostly to Warren and Sanders, with Sanders slightly receiving more.

Buttigieg received a substantial portion.

Biden received very little.

@darakass @DrDooleyMD @AbdulElSayed @DrSriram @DoctorsforPete @Docs_4_Bernie To me this corroborates the polls which show that while medical trade groups/guilds/professional societies might not support policies like #MedicareForAll, grassroots doctors feel differently. 3/

@darakass @DrDooleyMD @AbdulElSayed @DrSriram @DoctorsforPete @Docs_4_Bernie For nurses, the results were even more stark:

Sanders overwhelmingly received the most donations, unsurprisingly given his endorsement by @NationalNurses and nursing support for #MedicareForAll.

Social workers 2nd most favored recipient is Warren.

These results were similar to those for nurses and for grassroots health professional donations overall.

Buttigieg and then Warren were the next most common recipients.

Here is what I used: fec.gov/data/receipts/…

The FEC page is great. You can play around with the filters.

Please adjust and let me know if there are major errors. 10/

There are twice as many health professional donations to these four candidates (~44,000) vs. Trump (~22,000).

And that doesn't include the whole rest of the Dem field, past and present.
