Warren Buffett says healthcare is 'the tapeworm of the American economy'
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/237765-warren-buffett-healthcare-the-tapeworm-of-the-american-economy
Buffett praised President Obama's reform law but said healthcare costs remain the "No. 1 problem" for business.
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett on Friday called healthcare the tapeworm of the American economy.
Buffett, co-hosting Bloomberg TVs In the Loop program, called President Obama's healthcare law a "step in the right direction," but said the high cost of insuring employees remains a drag on business.
I think the healthcare problem is the No. 1 problem of America and of American business, Buffett said. We have not dealt with that yet.

even when it does save them money. They would rather soak a $20 in turpentine and watch it burn than to see $1 go to any kind of assistance to those they see as the "untouchables" of America.

They'd support virtually unlimited spending to make that stop.
