House Votes To Repeal CLASS Act, Part Of 2010 Obama Health Care Law

WASHINGTON -- The Republican-led House on Wednesday voted to repeal a financially troubled part of the 2010 health care law that was designed to provide affordable long-term care insurance.

The House vote comes months after the Obama administration suspended the Community Living Assistance Services and Support program, known as the CLASS Act.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in October said she was unable to find a way to make the program financially solvent.

Still, the White House has said it does not support repealing the program, under which workers would pay a monthly premium during their careers and collect a daily cash benefit if they become disabled later in life.

Republicans have targeted the program as part of their overall goal of dismantling the health care overhaul law. Action on the bill in the Democratic-controlled Senate is uncertain.

"Republicans are committed to repealing and defunding it, piece by piece if necessary," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said of the health care bill after the CLASS Act vote.

The House vote was 267-159, with 28 Democrats joining all 239 voting Republicans in support. MORE HERE

Nice to see the House have a pair of nuts. Let's hope this is the first of many steps that lead to the restoration of individual Liberty. Vote Libertarian - Pro Choice on Everything.
