Wendell Potter Biography

Wendell Potter did not intend for his detour from his role as a social insurance agent to that of an informant and a human services transformation advocate. After taking a lengthy break from the industry, Potter could no longer ignore what he saw in his roles as CIGNA's top corporate representative and head of corporate interchanges. He made his first step toward becoming an informant in July 2007 when he came upon a visiting free center at a fair in rural Virginia. His amazement at what he witnessed. Many anxious people, the majority of whom had any form of clinical protection, slid on the center from the slopes. People waited in line for hours to receive the most basic healthcare procedures free of charge. Some had come from Georgia more than 200 miles away. Many received treatment outside or in the creature slows. Potter captured images of patients sprawled out on streetcars on wet sidewalks. Potter gave up in 2008 and started speaking out for changes in human services as it became clear to him that the security industry and its allies were distorting the national conversation. According to Potter, financial goals were prioritized over patients' needs, and every incentive was used to exclude people in order to satisfy Wall Street. Potter made his open presentation by stating in front of the U.S. Senate in June 2009 about the actions taken by the protection industry to undermine real social insurance change, venturing outside of his usual sphere of knowledge.
