Lindsey Graham (R-D'bag) tries to repeal CLASS long-term care act

[KamaAina]

the CLASS Act (Community Living Assistance, Services and Supports) Act was included in the health care reform bill. It establishes a payroll deduction similar to Medicare to be used for long-term care (no, Medicare doesn't cover that; that's why so many people try to transfer assets to qualify for Medicaid). And you can opt out of it if you so desire.

So what's the problem? I don't know. You'd have to ask the smug, self-righteous Senator from SC, or his partners in crime Saxby Worthless, Enron John Cornyn, Tom Coburn (R-Still Singlehandedly Holding Up Aid to Haiti), and Sarah Palin's running mate.

S.3829
Title: Long-Term Care Bailout Prevention Act
Sponsor: Sen Graham, Lindsey (introduced 9/23/2010) Cosponsors (4)
Latest Major Action: 9/23/2010 Referred to Senate committee. Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

COSPONSORS(4), ALPHABETICAL : (Sort: by date)
Sen Chambliss, Saxby - 9/23/2010 Sen Coburn, Tom - 9/23/2010
Sen Cornyn, John - 9/23/2010 Sen McCain, John - 9/23/2010

Thank goodness it's in the Senate, where it will presumably die a quick, painless death in committee.

2. Don't paint all seniors with the same brush.

My husband and I are seniors and we both voted a straight Dem ticket. We also did canvassing and phone banking.

3. Sorry

But overall the last vote was driven by seniors ..... the young and minorities that voted in 2008
did not turn out in 2010.
