Why Warren Buffett says single-payer health care makes sense

Consider this...offloading his employees insurance premiums to taxpayers would be a sweet and lucrative deal for him.

Where does it say anything about "attacking a GOP"?

The only reference to "GOP" I see on the entire page is a link to a related story that reports him saying the "GOP" plan is "a huge tax break for guys like me".

---- that's an "attack"?

 

[Pogo]

--- and wtf does this thread have to do with any "socialist"? The only entity even mentioned is Warren Buffett, who's an absolute capitalist. Go price Berkshire Hathaway stock.

I have read a great deal on Buffett, I respect his value analysis manner in which to invest in stocks which he expanded on from his mentor Benjamin Graham who wrote the bible "The Intelligent Investor" and Warren was his student at Columbia (if I remember). There is noone I respect more in regards to investing in the stock market. I watched him closely, read his annual reports from Hathaway, read all I could about his strategies and perspectives. However, he is well off course here. He earned his money through being shrewd, doing hard work, his research and meeting executives to get an idea of how good (or poor) management is. He buys businesses and does well for himself.

However of late he has become someone looking for angles from the government and taxpayer. If he were a younger Buffett he might judge himself poorly of late. He knows very well that the current costs of healthcare in America ensures it is impossible to have universal healthcare, and worse, he knows better than most that a government monopoly would be HORRIBLE for the industry.

I recall reading in one of his books how he hates paying taxes, his logic is simple, he doesn't want to give money to inefficient government who would only waste it, in his words. He even appealed to get back a few thousands a number of years ago in which he overpaid. This, while he had billions in the bank.

He knows that America was built on capitalism and free markets. Yes, provide healthcare options and don't let peopel die on the streets, but single payer run by the government? This goes entirely against what made Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway so wealthy, and a younger Buffett would cringe as such a proposal.

Oh and for the record, Buffett is not a socialist. Or certainly he definitely was not. I don't follow him much anymore to know his opinions today, but he knows that socialism goes against precisely what makes Americas economic opportunity so great.

Buffet will never get medical care under a Veterans Administration system.....you know, single payer.......that is why he doesn't care what kind of medical care we get.....

Why would he want people to get the same treatment we see at the VA?

If he's a democrat, he's a socialist.

Holy Cow! You think Warren Buffett is a socialist?

You may not agree with his single-payer system idea (neither do I) but Buffett isn't even close to being a socialist (I suppose one could make the case that he's a crony capitalist though), he also admits that health care is "way outside his circle of competence" so he appears to be just throwing darts against the board out of frustration with the mess that the federal government has made of our health care system.

Wo wo wo, logic?!?!? How dare you!

Of course he would love it. Having someone else pay for the health care of the employees is great, even if it's shit and he would use private every time. Their health is of no importance to him.

Yes....he is.....he is a crony socialist.....he uses his connections to get favorable treatment by the government, then pushes his politicians to create laws that help his businesses....

Buffett is one of that breed of the very rich elites who take up socialism as a hobby. Good for us and not for him. Even under a socialist health care system he himself would pay a private doctor. You would never come across Buffett sitting in the waiting room of your local urgent care
He was crushed that Hillary lost. He made millions from the Obama administration and hoped that he would under Hillary.
I only have to say "Burlington northern" or "brazillian real" as proof. Look it up.
There is a reason Hillary took the billionaire vote.

Single payer is socialist. If it isn't then what is?

By the way don't make the mistake of thinking being rich is somehow inimical to being a socialist. That is where it comes from. The idle rich are the instigators.
Why? They see it as a way to avoid the masses with pitchforks coming for them.

/----- The uber rich will say liberal stuff publicly so to keep the Libtard Moonbats off their case. What buffet actually believes maybe the exact opposite.

Supporters of socialized medicine don't seem to realize they are supporting a system that will greatly benefit the wealthiest people in the country.

Single payer is inevitable. Americans collectively do not want the responsibility of their own health. We consume 80 percent of the world consumption of prescription pain meds, yet we are 5% of the population. Over 70% of Americans are overweight. Does that sound like a group interested in taking care of themselves, or a group of fat druggies? Whatever, they don't want to pay the cost for eating poorly, using opioids and not exercising, I can guarantee that.
