Future of Health: Former Insurance Executive Wendell Potter on how "Corporate PR is Killing Health Care"
December 8, 2010 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
In June 2009, former insurance executive Wendell Potter made national headlines with his scorching testimony before the Senate panel on health-care reform. Now Potter, author of Deadly Spin, explains how a huge chunk of our health-care spending actually bankrolls a propaganda campaign and lobbying effort focused on protecting one thing: profits. And, he says, whatever the fate of the current health-care legislation, it makes no attempt to change that fundamental problem.
