Blowing the whistle on corporate health insurance. Wendell Potter

from This Conversation

Wendell Potter worked for large health care corporations CIGNA and HUMANA for 20 years. In a crisis of conscience, he quit. Two events prompted his decision: (1) observing the RAM health care clinic in Wise, VA where uninsured people were literally getting health care in a barn, and (2) the death of a 17-year-old girl who was denied coverage for a liver transplant. Since his resignation, he has been a strong and constant voice for finding a better way to provide health care in our country.What is the scam?What about Tennessee's RX Bill?What are the chances for improvement?What does Potter advise us all to do?
