CMD's Wendell Potter [3] has become a frequent guest on Democracy Now! [4]. Host Amy Goodman interviewed him again [5] on September 30th: "Efforts to create a government-run health insurance plan were dealt a setback Tuesday after the Senate Finance Committee rejected a pair of amendments to create a public option. Both amendments were defeated when a group of Democrats, including Senate Finance Committee chair Max Baucus [6], joined with Republicans to oppose the public option. We speak with Wendell Potter, the former chief spokesperson at CIGNA [7] -- one of the nation’s largest private insurers -- and now one of the health insurance industry’s most prominent whistle blowers."
