About a dozen healthcare lobbyists answered filmmaker Michael Moore’s challenge and turned out for an advanced screening yesterday of his critical take on the American healthcare system.

Moore ran newspaper advertisements this week, including one that appeared in The Hill, listing the names of about 900 lobbyists registered for healthcare clients and invited anyone on the list to a free showing of his film, “SiCKO.”

Moore welcomed the lobbyists to the screening, but made clear that he believes their clients are responsible for the problems of the healthcare system.

Moore struck a left-handedly conciliatory note when he addressed the small crowd of lobbyists in a theater at Union Station.
“I thought you should have a chance to see this movie first,” he said. Saying that the film “starred” their employers, Moore added, “Usually you show the movie to the stars first.”
