Manage episode 446327807 series 3574249
Meredith Hirsh begins by asking Wendell Potter to describe the executive-level positions he held at Humana and Cigna. Whistleblower, activist and best-selling author, Wendell sheds light on the insurance industry’s manipulative tactics. He then describes the grandiosity in which health insurance executives live and travel before he exposes strategies by these companies to increase profits at the expense of patients. Finally, Wendell reveals what prompted him to leave his high-paying PR job in health insurance to testify against these same characters in front of Congress.
