Deadly Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR Is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans Audiobook

" I really liked this book and it makes you think. It does get repetitive and drag in some places, but overall it has a good message and does accomplish the task of making you want to rage against "corporate America" and their public manipulation. If you are a conservative you probably will not like this book, but I feel like the author tries to stay non bias. "

" Every citizen should read this and learn who really is in control of our country. "

" All Americans concerned with healthcare and health insurance need to read this book. "

" This book could be fascinating ..... if you were American. For a non-American , you are left scratching or shaking your head; wondering why any developed country would think such a convoluted system is the proper way to provide medical care. His discussion of the effect of Michael Moore, free health care charity, and the profit motive are worth read but i began to lose interest when he started to explain the minutiae of legislation and corporate rules -- at that point I thanked Tommy Douglas for bringing medicare to Canada and closed the book "

" Interesting book about the insurance industry from the PR standpoint. The insurance industry really does need an overhaul. Wendell Potter should be commended for coming forth with his story of working in the spin business for the insurance industry. "

" Super depressing. "

" Quite an eye opener not only in terms of health insurance, but PR in general. "

" Anyone who is concerned about healthcare in this country or who feels like either big business (insurance companies) or the government have too much control over who has access to care MUST read this book. The most important book I have read in quite some time. "

" Wendell Potter is an ex-Cigna VP for communications who wrote this book after leaving the industry of his own free will after experiencing a moral awakening. Worth the read. "

" I believe that every American in this nation should have to read this book as a prerequisite to voting or talking about the Affordable Care Act. "

" Well-written expose of how people are being deceived by corporate America, and that private health insurance has only one concern: profits. Profits at any cost, including lives and health care itself. "

" This is really important to read. "If there is one message--and one that is actually true--it is this: Always look behind any public argument to see how your emotions are being manipulated. And count on it. They are." "

" Gut wrenching look at the mumipulations of not only our health care industry, but also oil, all socially connected business (aren't they all) and most importantly the future of the "news" biz. "

" Chilling. Parallels Wall Street, Retail and every other industry. Public Relations expose. The American public is eating it up. Much like our waistlines we are gluttonous and getting fatter on garbage. "

" A book everyone should read... it is an eye opener "

" I've seen the author interviewed on several programs. His book is a very interesting read. "

" I think every American should read this book, it not only shows how the Insurance industry rips us off while using smoke and mirrors, but the Public Relation groups of all major industries spin the American people dizzy so they don't know what and who is stealing from them. "

" In on sitting, I read a third of this gripping book. This is a MUST READ. "

" A must read. Written by an insider in the health care industry, the book reveals how insurance companies influence debates over health care reform and continue to rake in massive profits. "

" Do not read this if you already have high blood pressure. Simply and quickly lays out the PR evils of major industries, focusing on Health Insurance companies. You may know they are evil, but this shows you exactly how. Really really good read, highly recommended. "

" Pretty much confirmed what I have long thought - as long as health insurance and health care provision are for profit enterprises there will be no reform in that area, nor fair, equitable or affordable access for all in this country. "
