Stop Repeal of the CLASS Act

Stop Repeal of the CLASS Act

On Wednesday, January 25, the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on HR 1173, which is euphemistically entitled the “Fiscal Responsibility and Retirement Security Act of 2011.”  This bill would repeal the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act.  The CLASS Act was designed to be a voluntary insurance program to help Americans pay for long term care, and it was passed as part of the Affordable Care Act.

Please CLICK HERE to find the phone number for your Member of the House of Representatives and tell her/him:

1. The CLASS Act should not be repealed.
2. Repealing CLASS ignores the needs of millions of Americans with disabilities and seniors who need long term services and supports to maintain their independence and dignity.
3. Repealing CLASS ignores the needs of the direct care workforce for quality jobs.

Then, let us know you've made the call!
