Moore tells insurance lobbyist profiting off health 'doesn't seem moral'

When Oprah Winfrey welcomed Michael Moore and two health insurance experts to her program on Thursday to discuss the health care crisis in America, she set as the central question for debate, "Do you fundamentally believe that the child of a gas station attendance and the child of an investment banker deserve the same health care?"…

Yes, watched it.I think the doctor who testified in front of congress almost seemed like she wanted to cry with despair, I can relate.

Re: OPRAH "Sick in America: It can happen to you"

I finally got the chance to watch it. Was better than I expected. What I found funny was the Insurance Industry Rep. For most of the show she was like a deer in the headlights. She really did not have much to say did she. And when she did speak she towed the party line to a T. She was called on many good points and for the most part did not have anything new to say. But she did make a good point here and there. We just need to keep the issue of health care in the forefront and not let other issues overshadow it. Granted there are other issues out there that need to be addressed as well and we also need to be discussing them. My fear is that Heathcare will fall by the wayside because as stated in the show those that have it don't see it as a problem.
