With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter saw for-profit insurers hijack the healthcare system and put profits before patients. Now, he speaks with Bill Moyers about how those companies are standing in the way of healthcare reform.
With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell
Potter saw for-profit insurers hijack the healthcare system
and put profits before patients. Now, he speaks with Bill Moyers
about how those companies are standing in the way of healthcare
reform. Potter spoke out against the industry for the first time
last month. Testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee, he
said, "Recently, it became abundantly clear to me that the
industry's charm offensive, which is the most visible part of a
duplicitous and well-financed PR and lobbying campaign, may well
shape reform in a way that benefits Wall Street far more than
average Americans." Potter is a senior fellow on healthcare for the
nonpartisan watchdog group Center for Media and Democracy, for
which he writes a blog on healthcare reform.
