Healthcare on the Bus & SCOTUS in Session w Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show – 10-16-24

         It's a busy show today. While I was out in moving hell, the new term of the Supreme Extreme Court got underway.

We'll also check in with Heathcare advocate Laura Packard who's currently on a Protect Our Care national bus tour which hits Tempe, AZ today and Phoenix tomorrow before moving on to CA, NV, CO, MI, WI, OH and PA.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPf0_sKGNIQ

Health Insurance Hero Whistleblower Wendell Potter on the Nicole Sandler Show – 6-25-24

   Yesterday, the HEALTH CARE un-covered Newsletter arrived in my inbox, sporting the headline "Fifteen Years Ago Today I Became a Whistleblower". It was from Wendell Potter who remains a hero to all of us in the US, whether you know it or not. I was fortunate to first interview Wendell on Air America Radio in August of 2009, just two months after he testified before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, pulling back the curtain from around the industry for which he carried water and covered up unethical practices. A few months later, he would testify before [...]

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 [...]

(There are still 8 cases to opine on. The next announcements will come Friday.)

Download here or click below to play     Today is November 11 - Veterans Day! I found some old papers of my dad's from his time in the Army that I'll share as we begin today's show. Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard the third challenge to the Affordable Care Act. We were nervous, as the court is now the most conservative it's been in decades. 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 [...]

   It's a busy Wednesday with lots of news to deal with. First, a hearing yesterday in the 5th circuit court of appeals on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act seemed to go in Trump's direction.

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 exposed the industry for the profit-grabbing thieves they are.  Today, Potter is president of The Business Initiative for Health Policy, an organization focused on enacting Medicare for All. 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. It was [...]
