The CLASS act was always one of the parts that was most unlikely to be implemented. The law actually requires certification that the plan would have been solvent for 75 years prior to implementation. The problem is getting healthy young people to pay a seperate monthly premium to cover the eventual need for long term skilled care.

According to the article the individual policy holders would have to pay a monthly premium from $235 to $391, even as high as $3,000.00 in some case. That is affordable? I sell insurance, I got long term care policies cheaper than these prices.

LMAO. If CLASS wasnt sustainable it should be obvious how the rest of the bill isnt sustainable. I started a LTC policy when I was 50, inflation indexed, benefit levels that currently exceed even California LTC daily averages. Premium is $395....a quarter!

You're likely healthy with no chronic conditions. The CLASS act would have been open to everyone.

I worked with several Insurance Brokers, we looked at Obama plan when he first announced it. It not that those with a pre-medical condition would make it cost. There are policies that do allow pre medical conditions. It just that the plan it make it work, required the popluation of the USA to pay for it, 310 million people.

How is it more expensive, per person, if the maximum number of people are in the program?

I think uou misread his post. To keep the cost DOWN it would have required universal coverage.

Yeah, go single payer so the death panels can save money for the LTC side of the house.

Good old pubs, women and children first, now the elderly and disabled.

But you do know that "women and children first" means "first in the lifeboats", not the "first to get thrown under the bus"?

And you think your insurance doesn't have so-called "death panels"? Every time an insurance company refuses to pay for somebody to have an operation or a treatment, they are playing god and putting profits before their customers.

You're making this bullshit claim to me? After my health insurance carrier dumped my entire company to avoid paying for my dialysis? That forced me to go on disability when I would much rather have continued working in a career I loved?
