Internet posts claiming that Warren Buffett wants to “scrap Obamacare” are false, the Omaha investor said Tuesday.
“This is outrageous,” Buffett said in a World-Herald interview. “It's 100 percent wrong ... totally false.”
A story posted by Money Morning, a financial advice site, and repeated by the Morning Standard and other Internet outlets quotes comments Buffett made in an interview on CNBC on March 1, 2010. Officials from Money Morning could not be reached Tuesday.
The U.S. Senate was debating a bill that became the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. The Internet posts make it appear that the comments are recent. Worse, Buffett said, they took his comments out of context and added the “scrapped” wording.
