I’ve been getting some e-mail lately about Warren Buffett apparently attacking health-care reform. Turns out he didn’t, but that Fox News is saying he did. The relevant quote comes from an interview<\/a> Buffett gave to CNBC on Monday. “If it was a choice today between plan A, which is what we’ve got, or plan B, the Senate bill, I would vote for the Senate bill. But I would much rather see a plan C that really attacks costs.” <\/p>\n So would I, and so would the Obama administration. No one is saying the Senate bill is perfect. But they’re saying it’s far preferable to the status quo. Fox News, meanwhile, is saying that Buffett said<\/a> “he simply cannot go along with this particular health care bill.” In fact, he said the exact opposite. I continue to be amazed that lying brazenly to your audience is such a good business strategy.<\/p>\n Share Investor Links<\/span><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Share Investor Blog<\/a> – Stockmarket & Business commentary Download the 2009 Warren Buffett Letter & 2009 Annual Report to Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders<\/span><\/a> Recommended Amazon Reading<\/span><\/p>\n
