Recenzii
May be the ideal whistleblower
Potter engaging weaves together industry secrets with his own ... transformation into a whistleblower who tried to beat back the spin that nearly killed Obamacare.
As one former insurance executive testified before Congress, insurance companies are not only encouraged to find reasons to drop the seriously ill; they are rewarded for it. All of this is in service of meeting what [Potter] called 'Wall Street's relentless profit expectations.'

Descriere
"My name is Wendell Potter, and for twenty years I worked as a senior executive at health insurance companies. I saw how they confuse their customers and dump the sick-all so they can satisfy their Wall Street investors."-Senate testimony, June 24, 2009
