“They Dump the Sick to Satisfy Investors”: Insurance Exec Turned Whistleblower Wendell Potter Speaks Out Against Healthcare Industry

Democracy Now's Amy Goodman's Incisive Interview
With Wendell Potter, CIGNA Whistleblower
Editorial Note: Potter goes into detail about how the health insurance industry conjures fear and pursues a PR strategy to frame the companies in the best light as they make friends in Congress and influence the public. Well worth watching to understand that Congress is influenced by "friendship" as well as money and the necessary skepticism we must all develop to lobby for the "public" agenda.
