Operation Coffeecup

Krugman reponds to Palin's closing quotation of Reagan in last night's debate.
When did he say this? It was on a recording he made for Operation Coffeecup — a campaign organized by the American Medical Association to block the passage of Medicare. Doctors’ wives were supposed to organize coffee klatches for patients, where they would play the Reagan recording, which declared that Medicare would lead us to totalitarianism.
I think this was in Michael Moore's film about the health care industry.
