YouTube Description
as posted by the channelwww.DemocracyNow.org - Healthcare costs for insured working Americans continue to rise, with premiums increasing 9 percent for family plans over the past year. In this part of the interview on Democracy Now!, filmmaker Michael Moore discusses how health insurers have used the funds they receive from premiums to try to undermine their critics, including Moore himself. A health insurance company whistleblower, Wendell Potter, previously revealed in a Democracy Now! interview how industry executives plotted to undermine Moore's 2007 film "Sicko," which took on the for-profit U.S. healthcare system.
