Wendell Potter

'With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter saw for-profit insurers hijack the US health care system and put profits before patients. Now he speaks with Bill Moyers about how those companies are standing in the way of health care reform.'

This is an astounding but very long interview. And every second of it is worth it. Moyers starts by grilling Potter and his background just to make it patently clear Potter isn't coming to the table as a loose cannon.

Potter does an incredible job and you'll be shocked and frightened at what you hear. The link also has a complete transcript on the same page so you can scroll through and read - and really absorb - as you listen.

Tara Sathyai did a wonderful thing on the night of the #welovetheNHS trend on Twitter. She wrote an incredibly impassioned and very personal account of her own attitude towards the NHS. Don't miss it.
