CIGNA Whistleblower Wendell Potter being interviewed, with Michael Moore, by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!

"In the interview, Potter apologizes for his role in the industry’s attack on Moore and the film.

"Moore accepted his apology, but acknowledged to Potter that, 'I think we both know this is much larger then what was done to me or in the movie.' Moore said that the industry was willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to 'stop a movie' because they were afraid it 'could trigger a populist uprising against,' what he called, a 'sick system that will allow companies to profit off of us when we fall ill.'
