This month we welcome back Wendell Potter, former health insurance company executive turned whistle blower, and author of Deadly Spin, An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR is Killing Healthcare and Deceiving Americans. We discuss the soon-to-be-released documentary American Hospitals – Healing a Broken System, which reveals the economic structure of an industry that is charging outrageous fees while sitting on billions of dollars in accumulated cash.
