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 [...]

Think about it. You have to pay them in order to get the prices they've negotiated for medical care of every stripe. If you don't have insurance, you're charged the "list price," but if you pay your monthly extortion to cabal, then the cost for services is what those two entities negotiated.

Download here or click below to play It's open enrollment time for Medicare again, and no doubt you're already sick of those damned TV ads for Medicare's so-called Advantage plans. Make no mistake, there's no advantage to these plans, unless you stay completely healthy. Once you get sick, the DISadvantage becomes more than apparent.

Since open [...]
