Former Cigna executive turned whistleblower Wendell Potter appeared on MSNBC to discuss how the "corporate assassination" of Brian Thompson coincided with UnitedHealthcare's investor day. Potter, author of *Deadly Spin*, argues that the industry's "slavish devotion to Wall Street" leads to deliberate delays and denials of care to meet profit expectations.
