[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Sebelius: CLASS Program Will Be Implemented Only If It Is Viable.[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']3/31[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'] "Obama administration officials may have to tell Congress it has to break the health overhaul law by not implementing a long-term care insurance program if it cannot be reworked to become financially sustainable, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday." During testimony before the Senate Appropriations Health subcommittee, "Sebelius said if her staff can't make the program work financially, 'we won't turn the switch on it.'" HHS actuaries are working to ensure that the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) program will be viable for at 75 years, although "if we can't have a program design we know at the outset is going to be solvent, I think we'll return to Congress and say it won't be solvent and therefore we'll be violating the law," Sebelius said.

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']I wonder why it took these fools over a year to finally understand what they were told from the get-go?[/FONT]
