Former insurance industry insider, Wendell Potter, is set to testify tomorrow before the full Senate Commerce Commitee. Mr. Potter served for more than two decades as a public relations executive for CIGNA and Humana. He left the industry because he felt industry practices were harming American health care consumers.

Mr. Potter intends to expose the health insurance industry’s resistence to needed health care reform and what’s really behind it. Should be interesting!
