Warren Buffett has refuted news reports stating he wants to "scrap" the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and called such portrayals "outrageous."

He did so in a story published last week on omaha.com, which is the website of the Omaha World-Herald.

Buffett was reacting to recent new accounts which quoted comments he made in 2010 while the U.S. Senate was debating the bills that became the ACA. Buffett told the Omaha World-Herald that his comments were taken out of context.

“I've never suggested nor thought Obamacare should be scrapped,” Buffett told the World-Herald, which noted Buffett has supported Obama's political campaigns. “I support it. It relates to providing medical care for all Americans. That's something I've thought should be done for a long, long time."

2. March 1, 2010?

When asked, "Are you in favor of scrapping [Obamacare] and going back to start over?", famed investor Warren Buffett said on CNBC March 1, 2010, "I would be — if I were President Obama.”

6. Good point. The ACA was signed into law on March 23, 2010.

So he said this weeks before Obama signed the ACA into law. Buffet could not have even known what was actually in the ACA when he said that...if he said that (the source publication is questionable, a right wing rag).

4. And let 45,000 Americans die each year?

No, Warren. You don't "scrap" it when that would leave 50 million Americans uninsured and 45,000 dying each year for lack of coverage. No, Warren, you build on what you have by further expanding Medicare and Medicaid...until we have single payer.

Stick to gaming stocks, Warren, and stay out of my healthcare.
