He pointed out that "socialized medicine" is a scare word. Moore pointed out that we have socialized police and fire and utilities.

Moore's best lines:

1. To the insurance lobbyist: "I don't want ONE DOLLAR of my taxes to go to your profit!".

2. Saying that all major religions say you should take care of your less fortunate brother, that instead of "socialized medicine" we should call it "Christianized medicine" and he quoted from Jesus saying you should feed the hungry etc.

I've seen him use that term before, and it's a good sound bite.

3. He pointed out that soldiers have socialized medicine in the V.A. to take care of them.

4. Telling the lobbyist "You own those guys", referring to the Congresscritters.

The lobbyist woman kept babbling about "centers of excellence we send people to in Houston, at the Mayo Clinic, blah blah blah" totally avoiding the question.

When she said they paid 5 billion claims a year, Moore pointed out that with 300 million Americans, did that mean that the average American went to the doctor 20 times a year?
