“The Los Angeles premiere of Sicko at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater was over, the audience on their feet and the ’stars’ — a.k.a. underserved, suffering patients and whistle-blowing insurance company employees — had taken their bows. Michael Moore, wearing a suit-minus-tie and sans his signature cap, was looking at them with a paternal glow. Then came the lone question, shouted from the audience: What do we do? For Moore, it’s a no-brainer. He wants the insurance industry out of the picture.” (07/02/07)
