For 20 years, Wendell Potter was the corporate public relations executive for CIGNA. Last year he left his job as the head of communications for CIGNA – one of the nation’s largest health insurers – to speak out for the need for a fundamental overhaul of the American health care system. He now works at the Center for Media and Democracy as a Senior Fellow on Health Care. Potter has testified before U.S Congressional Committees and appeared on numerous talk shows to tell the public of the tactics insurers use to dump sick policyholders and how the industry funnels millions of dollars into big PR firms that provide talking points to conservative talk show hosts, business groups and politicians.
