He is the person that the business world call the Oracle from Omaha and is one of the richest people in the world. His company just made $3 billion last quarter. This time, where our politicians and media did not get it, he hit the nail right on the head …. on health-care!

Yes, yes, yes…. Finally there was a person that got how the American people were feeling about the healthcare bill. Hey Democrats and Republicans listen to what this man has to say, after all he is the person with money that you guys seem to adore, unlike we normal people whom you chose to ignore!

Here, is his quote (from Reuters):
“
“ It’s like a tapeworm eating at our economic body,” Buffett said on CNBC television.
“If it was a choice today between Plan A, which is what we’ve got, or Plan B, which is the Senate bill, I would vote for the Senate bill,” he said. “But I would much rather see a Plan C that really attacks costs, and I think that’s what the American public wants to see.”
“

Firstly, Democrats : your bill sucks. It is so lightweight that the only thing that seems heavy is the fact that it is more than 2000 pages long! Your bill is an abysmal failure and the manner that it goes about cutting cost is really bad….

And Republicans, your notion that we have the best form of healthcare is something that only crazy people say, or people who are simply having an agenda doing nothing. All you guys talk about is cutting cost, when what you provide as an alternative is horrifically worse!

Look, the most important factor of the issue with health-care is : Cost! Cost baby cost! It is the cost that is really affecting Americans. We pay a ridiculous 17% if our GDP on healthcare, and rates are still rising like crazy. Why? That is the point where the Big 2 parties have lost out.

We want cheaper plans. We do not care if it is by the government or not by the government! We would prefer a choice of both! That is why public option is very popular with the people in America, but is forgotten or should I say, intentionally ignored by our leaders in Washington.

I find it very sad that it seems very normal that $4 trillion was wasted in the last 10 years and nobody did anything in those times. Where were the Democrats who are the so called champions on this issue? My opinion :In the pockets of special interests and lobbyists with their Republican colleagues.

Where is the media calling them out on this? Don’t they know that $4 trillion is about a third of our national debt? Or are they oblivious to it, or do they want to be oblivious to it? Where is the reporting that a lot of the waste comes from fraud which is not tackled at all in both plans!

And where is the media catching out the Republican plan ? They have the cheek to say that their plan costs ½ as much as the Democrats and covers 1/10th the amount of people? And that is comparing it with the Democratic plan that seemed to be made by kindergarten politicians.

It really pains me that over 500 people in Washington DC cannot get something as crucial as this done! If they cannot do healthcare reform, how are they going to do social security reform?
