Profits and Healthcare

Here's an interview of Wendell Potter, former head of corporate communications for CIGNA. Potter had an epiphany upon visiting his home town and encountering a "health fair" which, much to his surprise, was a gathering where hundreds of people received free health treatment outdoors and in animal stalls (it was a fairgrounds). The sight of hundreds of his former neighbors waiting to receive free treatment because they had no insurance so moved Wendell Potter that he soon after quit his corporate execitve job, and set to work campaigning for meaningfull healthcare reform. As usual, Bill Moyers proves and excellent, insightful and intelligent interviewer. Have a look.
