Former VP of Healthcare Giant CIGNA Speaks out Against Big Business | North Beach

Submitted by the Event Organizer

CIGNA is a health services company with 30,000 employees and some $18 Billion in revenue. Safe to say they’re a big player.

Now, when CIGNA’s former senior vice president Wendell Potter quits his job and writes a book about how corporate PR is killing health care and deceiving Americans, he probably knows what he’s talking about.

Potter will discuss his book Deadly Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR Is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans published by Bloomsbury Books.

Wendell Potter has served since May 2009 as the Center for Media and Democracy in Madison, Wisconsin’s senior fellow on health care. After a 20-year career as a corporate public relations executive, last year he left his job as head of communications for one of the nation’s largest health insurers to try his hand at helping socially responsible organizations — including those advocating for meaningful health care reform — achieve their goals.
