With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter saw for-profit insurers hijack our 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 our 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." Wendell 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.
