10-15-21 Nicole Sandler Show – It’s Open Enrollment Time Again with Wendell Potter

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   You knew it was coming if you ever watch television these days. Those insipid and excessive ads for Medicare Advantage Plans are blanketing the airwaves. Of course, I can't help but think that money would be better spent in delivering healthcare to people in need than on nonstop, often misleading advertising. In 16 days, on Nov. 1, open enrollment begins again for the exchanges in the ACA or Obamacare. What's off the table now is Medicare for All, though Bernie Sanders and [...]

But we got a somewhat pleasant surprise from the comments of both Brett Kavanaugh and CJ John Roberts..and even Samuel Alito! Our guest today is health insurance industry whistleblower Wendell Potter.  He has been [...]

6-20-19 Nicole Sandler Show – Medicare for All with Wendell Potter

 Many Americans first met Wendell Potter in 2009 when he left the health insurance industry to become a whistleblower and told us the truth.

He's also the founder of Tarbell.org, an nonprofit, independent, reader supported news site covering money in politics and policy.  And he's the author of a few books including Deadly Spin, which tells the story of his transition from insurance industry PR flak to whistleblower.
