There’s a Way to Fix Healthcare, but Is There a Will? | Whistleblower Wendell Potter

In this episode, we dive into our dysfunctional healthcare system with guest Wendell Potter, a former health insurance executive turned whistleblower, advocate for healthcare reform, New York Times best-seller, and documentary producer.We discuss the role of private, for-profit health plans in the U.S. and how they’ve drained resources from the healthcare system while leaving Americans financially vulnerable and sick. We also touch upon Medicare Advantage (which is neither Medicare, nor an advantage), Medicare for All, “non-profit” hospital systems, and if we’ll ever break free from employment-based insurance.Learn more about Wendell’s new documentary, American Hospitals: Healing A Broken System.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
