Rush Limbaugh has no problems with U.S. medical care, but Warren Buffett’s
sister says many people aren’t so lucky.
Doris Buffett, whose Sunshine Lady Foundation gave $10.4 million in
contributions in 2008 to a wide range of charities, was interviewed by Davidson
College of Charlotte, N.C., one of 15 colleges where she supports classes on
philanthropy to give students firsthand experience with the process of making
wise donations.
She told the college’s interviewer that among other purposes, her donations
go toward education and to groups that help battered women and people who need
financial help because of illness.
Limbaugh, a conservative radio talk-show host who opposes the health care
legislation being debated in Congress, spent a night in a hospital in Hawaii
last month after suffering chest pains. At a press conference Jan. 1 when he was
released, he said:
“The treatment I received here was the best that the world has to offer.
Based on what happened here to me, I don’t think there’s one thing wrong with
the American health care system. It is working just fine, just dandy.”
Doris Buffett said she hopes the philanthropy classes leave students with
“the urge to do things for people all their life. Where they see the need,
fulfill it. To do something, to be an activist, and social justice. Just helping
people who need help.
(OK Buffett wants everyone to get health care. I would like to challenge her and all those on the left to show me one person who has been denied health care because they couldn't afford it. If we get Obamacare, health care will be denied to people including older people. Yes changes need to be made in health care but just because the baby's bath water is dirty doesn't mean you put the baby in the trash. Read more on this issue Warren Watch: Buffett’s sister,
Limbaugh differ on state of U.S. health care.)
