 OBAMACARE’S “UNDERFUNDED” CLASS PROGRAM IS IN JEOPARDY

The Future Of ObamaCare’s “Underfunded” Community Living Assistance Services And Supports Program (CLASS) Has Been Put On Hold, Raising Uncertainty Of The Future Of The Program. (Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, “Obama Administration Shelves Long-Term Care Insurance Plan For Workers,” The Associated Press, 9/22/11)

CLASS Actuary Loses His Job And The Rest Of The CLASS Staff Are Being Reassigned In The HHS. (Janet Adamy, “Long-Term Care Program In Jeopardy,” The Wall Street Journal’s “Washington Wire,” 9/22/11)

·       CLASS Actuary Bob Yee: “My Understanding Is They’re Slowing Down The Development. They’re Taking A Pause And Reducing The Amount Of Work Being Done. " (Janet Adamy, “Long-Term Care Program In Doubt,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/23/11)

HHS Denied The CLASS Office Was Closing And Maintained That The CLASS Program “Will Only Be Implemented If It Is Fiscally Solvent, Self Sustaining, And Consistent With The Statute” (Janet Adamy, “Long-Term Care Program In Jeopardy,” The Wall Street Journal’s “Washington Wire,” 9/22/11)

But The Medicare Chief Actuary Richard Foster Had Warned That The CLASS Program Was “Unworkable” Back In 2009. (Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, “Long-Term Care Plan Alarms Ignored,” The Associated Press, 9/14/11)

• To Be Financially Sound, The CLASS Program Would Have To Enroll “More Than The Entire U.S. Workforce.” “Foster said a rough outline of the program would have to enroll more than 230 million people – more than the U.S. workforce – to be financially feasible.” (Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, “Long-Term Care Plan Alarms Ignored,” The Associated Press, 9/14/11)

Causing Future Uncertainty To ObamaCare’s CLASS Program, The Senate Appropriations Committee Passed FY2012 Budget With No Monies Appropriated To The Program Despite Obama’s $120 Million Request To Carry Out The Program.
