House vote to repeal CLASS

Take Action!

Tell your Representative to vote NO on repeal

 

Tomorrow, February 1, the House of Representatives will vote on the Fiscal Responsibility and Retirement Security Act (H.R. 1173), a bill that would repeal  the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act.

 

The House is not offering any alternative to the CLASS long-term care services program. Repealing the CLASS Act is not a solution to the dire need for a real long-term care solution.

Tell your Representative to MEND it, don’t END it!

CLASS is a voluntary, fiscally responsible program that would provide a cash benefit to people needing care at home, regardless of income or pre-existing conditions.  CLASS is not perfect, but it is a critical first step in solving a national long-term care crisis.  We can make CLASS better and more affordable, but only if the law stays on the books.

Please follow the directions to forward a message to your Representative  or call 1-855-218-2109 to tell your Representative to vote against H.R. 1173.
