I’m Wendell Potter. I spent 20 years as a health insurance insider, running propaganda campaigns that benefited corporations. After seeing the corruption from the inside, I’ve dedicated my life to reforming the health care industry through education, advocacy and speaking truth to power.

"Wendell Potter may be the ideal whistleblower.”
"Potter’s Deadly Spin is an eye-opening account of the backroom antics of industries that do harm. You won’t look at issues the same way after you read this book. If you can understand how "spin" works, you will be able to understand the money and tactics used to distort the truth. And we need to know the power propaganda has on us all."
"[Potter] trenchantly critiques the failure of America's for-profit health-insurance system…. [and his] street cred and deep knowledge of the industry make his indictment unusually vivid and compelling."
