Town Hall with Wendell Potter at UConn Monday 11/2

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

Connecticut Citizen Action Group

Dear Friend,

Citizens for Economic Opportunity (CEO) is sponsoring a "Town Hall with Wendell Potter" on Monday, November 2 at the UConn West Hartford Campus.

For 20 years, Wendell Potter was the corporate public relations executive for CIGNA. Join us as Potter explains how he went from being the spokesman for one of the nation's largest insurance companies to a whistleblower and advocate for health insurance reform. His presentation will be brief, leaving a lot of time for Q & A.

Here are the event details:

Time - Monday, November 2, 2:30 PM
Place - UConn West Hartford Campus Auditorium
Library Building
1800 Asylum Avenue
West Hartford, CT 06117

Parking - Visitors must park in the lot on Trout Brook Drive

Last year, Wendell Potter left his job as the head of communications for CIGNA - one of the nation's largest health insurers - to speak out for the need for a fundamental overhaul of the American health care system. He now works at the Center for Media and Democracy as a Senior Fellow on Health Care. Potter has testified before U.S Congressional Committees and appeared on numerous talk shows to tell the public of the tactics insurers use to dump sick policyholders and how the industry funnels millions of dollars into big PR firms that provide talking points to conservative talk show hosts, business groups and politicians.

See you at UConn on Monday!

John Murphy
CCAG Political Director
