２０２１年に自民党に最もたくさん寄付した団体とは
２０２１年に、自民党に最もたくさん寄付した団体は、日本医師連盟だった。国民政治協会から自民党が受け取った２４億７千万円の内、約１割の２億５千万円は日本医師連盟が出したものだ。
日本医師連盟は、Wikipediaによると、「日本医師会の掲げる理念と政策を実現するために活動する政治資金規正法に則り東京都選挙管理委員会に届出がされている政治団体。公益社団法人たる日本医師会そのものがほぼ運営母体である。」
日本医師連盟のサイトには、財務諸表が無い。
日本医師会のサイトの決算報告書をみると、２０１９年度の事業活動収入は２８６億１６百万円、２０２０年度１０４１億６２百万円、２０２１年度４５９億４９百万円、２０２２年度２４０億８１百万円だった。
「あの病気」が、この数値の増減に大いに影響したように思える。
日本医師連盟は、国民政治協会だけでなく、自民党の議員個人にも、相当の寄付をしている。
（日本医師連盟から）だれにいくら献金するかは最終的に委員長（日本医師会 会長）が決める。影響力や日本医師会への貢献度、医師かどうかや将来性などを総合的に判断する。
ある小児外科医によると、千葉市で開業するためには千葉市医師会・千葉県医師会・日本医師会の３つすべてに入らなければならず、合計した年会費は４２万円だ。
日本医師連盟の豊富な資金は元をたどれば医療費、つまり税金や保険料、患者の窓口負担だ。それが献金となって政界へ還流し、集票力と合わせて医政活動の強力な道具となっている。
この先、自民党の議員が世代交代しても、日本医師連盟との癒着は引き継がれていくのだろう。
宗教団体では１つだけ、深見東州（半田晴久）氏が教祖をつとめる宗教団体ワールドメイトが、３０百万円を寄付して、このランキングに載っている。この団体がどういう意図でこのような大金を寄付しているのかは、不明だ。

An organization that donated the most to the LDP in fiscal 2021
The organization that donated the most to the LDP in 2021 was the Japan Medical Association. Of the 2.47 billion yen the LDP received from the National Political Association, about 10%, or 250 million yen, came from the Japan Medical Association.
According to Wikipedia, the Japan Medical Association is "a political organization registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Election Administration Commission in accordance with the Political Funds Control Law, which works to realize the ideals and policies set forth by the Japan Medical Association. The Japan Medical Association, a public interest incorporated association, is the governing body for the most part."
The Japan Medical Federation does not have financial statements on its website. Looking at the financial report on the Japan Medical Association's website, the operating income for fiscal year 2019 was 28,616 million yen, 104,162 million yen for fiscal year 2020, 45,949 million yen for fiscal year 2021, and 24,081 million yen for fiscal year 2022. It seems that "that disease" has had a great influence on the increase or decrease of these figures.
The Japan Medical Association has made substantial donations not only to the National Political Association but also to individual members of the Liberal Democratic Party.
The final decision on who to donate and how much (from the Japan Medical Federation) is made by the chairman (president of the Japan Medical Association). The decision is made based on a comprehensive assessment of the person's influence, their level of contribution to the Japan Medical Association, whether they are a doctor, their future prospects, etc.
According to one pediatric surgeon, in order to open a practice in Chiba City, one must join all three medical associations: the Chiba City Medical Association, the Chiba Prefecture Medical Association, and the Japan Medical Association, with a combined annual membership fee of 420,000 yen.
The Japan Medical Association's abundant funds come from medical expenses, that is, taxes, insurance premiums, and patient fees. These funds are then channeled back into the political world as donations, and, together with their vote-gathering power, they become a powerful tool for medical policy activities.
Even if the LDP's lawmakers change generationally in the future, the party's collusion with the Japan Medical Association will likely continue.
Only one religious organization, World Mate, whose founder is Toshu Fukami (Haruhisa Handa), is on this ranking, having donated 30 million yen.
It is unclear what the organization's intentions are in donating such a large amount of money.
