wendel why don't you donate your blood money to some needy people, instead of writing a book for more. Better yet, donate your liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs, legs, arms, skin, hear...oh no not the heart, its untransplantable, it seams to be still beating but it has been blackened and choked up by past abuses. The only way to redeam yourself is to give away all your money then get sick.
Bravo, Wendell Potter! The government, megacorporations and megachurches are, as usual, keeping the public in the dark about the suffering their practices have caused. Crimes against the people have always been hidden by elites in positions of authority. In the U.S. alone they've spent billions on propaganda. The narcissistic freaks try to rewrite history, assuming their "inferiors" won't catch on. I've dealt with many as an RN and child welfare advocate. Nothing's sacred to them.
This man is just a bastard. He went back to corporate headquarters after he made his millions. He came forward with this info after retiring. Why tell us what we already know, your a theaf and a killer. What are you gonna do to make it right...Huh..This interview is basically rubbing people's face in shit..
I hear you .... BUT at least he's coming forward and speaking about it..... USA has such a corrupt health care system.... private insurance in health care is EVIL....
You can see that the company comes 1st not the humans...the leaders often trick their own employees into believing this is the only way there is no way out. We should have forgiveness for the poor smucks that believed the higher powers of these corrupt places .. often they are pitted against morals..their lives and families are pitted against profits...for the company. Dont get me wrong all of this is wrong as 2 left feet..yet we all have been faced with this dilemma ...if u work u have...
I had the honor of getting acquainted with the Sarkisyans, who lost their daughter Nataline and Bedeg his only sister. I cannot quite reason what all his motives are/were. But, at least he did reveal some dirty laundry, whatever his motive.
BIG INSURANCES & BIG DRUGS INDUSTRIES are fighting with everything in their Corporate arsenal to protect their TRILLION DOLLARS profit MILLION DOLLARS salaries & MILLION DOLLARS bonuses.
Theyre using every UNDERHANDED SLEAZY TACTICS to stop HEALTH CARE REFORM---Town Hall Meetings Intimidation, lies, fear & smear propaganda.
FOXNEWS & REPUBLICAN PARTY---who as always, side with these powerful Corporations---are themselves spreading BIG INSURANCES & BIG DRUGS misinformation & scare tactics
Anyone who wants to know the truth about Health Care minus all the crap please take a moment to visit the comment section of my profile. I have all kinds of RESOURCES. See who's in the pocket of big pharma. Representatives phone #s. Answers. Scare Tactics DEBUNKED. The easy to read version of the bill sent out by congress. The long version of the bill. It's a one stop health care reform shop so to speak. Check it out. Let's unite and share information.
I am against healthcare. This man bothers me for one reason in that he was an executive, did his 20 years and cashed out. What we need are executive/s with morals like this guy to stay and reform the company/ies from within. Congressman and women were going to vote on the healthcare bill they never read because of party affiliation. They are no better than execs. No morals and the devil has freedom to roam.
That guy isnt an Executive with morals, he's a Former Executive who ignored his conscience while behind his desk. Now he thinks he's going to hell, but I bet his religion unfortunately allows him to repent after his pockets are lined. There are no Execs that care less about Business and care more about doing whats morally right. To u tell the truth I probably would have done the same thing. whether its the govnt. or the Pvt. sector somebody will still get Fucked. :(
He quit after he got a dose of realit at the county fair ground health care fairs.
That's when he realized just what this country is really going through with health care. Before that, he was ignorant of what was really happening. He saw health insurance as a commodity, not something that was affecting humans. A lot of people do. I don't fault him. Simply because he has realized what he stood with. If he retired and went on his way, that would be one thing, instead, he decided to speak out.
Wendell Potter is a HERO. He is to be commended for his courage and I believe he existed inside a bubble, until that bubble burst....then he has done what an HONORABLE GENTLEMAN HERO DOES!
True.... BUT at least he's coming forward..... Because his words can make a difference and I can assure you THEY dont want him doing this... I"m very happy he's doing what he's doing... Americans need to see this...
@maximouni it is so difficult to understand for you these companies only think about the money? well, it's your problem if you don't want a universal public healthcare system, as we have in most of European countries. It's just as simple as to pay a little extra tax fee every time you recieve your income. My father needed surgery in the eyes; it was for free in a public hospital. As he's retired, medicines are free for him. Just a small extra tax fee on every income, remember. It's your health.
If government-run insurance is inefficient, then how ill it run private companies out of business? Dumb conservatives just keep repeating the BS they learn from FOX, and lack the common sense to investigate further.
EXACTLY! Why be afraid of the competition if it's really no competition at all. Let the free market sort it out if the free market is so perfect. The free market will decide and government run health care will fail, right? Idiots.
good point. but if the government is also the rule maker (ie rules) they can allows change the rules when it becomes inefficient and keep itself in business. Its cheating. the free market does not decide. Its like playing against the referee team at a football game. They start losing, they change the rules.
One of my medications, a one of a kind medication, had co-pay increases of 1000% in 8 1/2 years. My premiums have risen $246.00 per month in the last 2 years.
My medical insurance premiums have almost tripled in the last 2 1/2 years (without any significant health problems). I'm currently paying more than $500/month in premiums alone. At this rate I may not be able to afford medical insurance much longer. I've also got a friend that had to discontinue his medical insurance when the rate went above $800/month.
What's really disconcerting is that I've paid 10s of thousands of dollars in basic medical premiums. However, if I get really sick, chances are my insurance company will pay out a fraction of what I've given them and then discontinue my coverage. - Unfortunately, this happens every day to people in the US.
you know when ur making as much money as he was, its hard to forget abt these 47 million ppl, now the question is once he has realized what will he do abt this?
That's why he's speaking out now. He's made off with the dough already--got nothing to lose for suddenly discovering his morality. Wonder if he'll donate his millions to all the families he screwed over before he found a conscience.
Of course he didn't and knew he would be fired directly if he spoke out. I am sure he got a golden parachute retirement plan too. That is why he kept his mouth shut and resigned instead of raising a stink while still employed. Nice to speak out now but he is still speaking out now with relatively little consequence.

45 million people is an incorrect number liberal drones 15 million are illegals there are about 12 million uninsured wake the fuck up
obamaassclown1 2 years ago
Well, you sure are an assclown.
There aren't 15 million illegals in this number. Those are counted elsewhere. There are about 12 million LEGAL RESIDENT IMMIGRANTS Asswipe.
So, let's recap. Even if you took that 12 million away from 45 million, what does that leave us?
Kids? Anyone?
Still leaves us 33 Million.
And that doesn't count the millions and millions who are underinsured, or can't afford the insurance with the terms they DO have.
MY insurance premiums have gone up 300% in 9 years.
