Billionaire Warren Buffett supports the health care reforms Congress is considering, and he says Nebraska's Sen. Ben Nelson was courageous to vote for the U.S. Senate's plan.
Buffett said the health care reform plans aren't perfect and will likely need to be modified. But Buffett says it's important to start making changes now because growing health care costs are hurting business.
Buffett, who is a Democrat and backed President Barack Obama, says he admires Nelson for supporting the reforms even when most Nebraskans don't seem to.
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway employs more than 200,000 people and generates about half its revenue from insurance businesses, although most don't deal in health insurance.
