The American healthcare system is facing market failure driven by consolidation by industry profiteers. Perhaps no one has a clearer view of how this took place — and what to do about it — than Wendell Potter.Called ‘the ideal whistleblower’ by Time magazine, Potter was a senior executive at insurance giants like Humana and Cigna until a crisis of conscience in 2008.As the Editor-In-Chief of the HEALTH CARE un-covered newsletter, President of the Center for Health and Democracy and bestselling author of Deadly Spin and Nation on the Take, Potter has since dedicated his career to exposing the tactics insurers use to prioritize shareholder returns over patient outcomes.He joins us to discuss the strategies employers, clinicians, policymakers and patients can implement to reclaim a system built on actual value.Find the transcript of this episode at movingtovalue.org/transcript/potter________Sign up for our email list.Thank you to our members who make our work possible!
