House repeals CLASS Act that White House admits was unworkable"
- Washington DC By a vote of 267 to 159 with dozens of House Democrats joining Republicans -- the House voted to repeal a component of ObamaCare that the administration itself has determined is unworkable.
- The CLASS Act which created a massive new entitlement program for long-term care that even supporters admit is unsustainable was abandoned by the Department of Health and Human Services as financially unworkable.
Its wrong under ObamaCare to take money from hardworking Americans and promise them theyll be taken care of in their senior years when the President knows he cant keep that promise" said U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-Texas). Republicans warned that this scheme was unworkable and after a year and a half of trying even the White House admits this program wont work. Its time to repeal yet another failed provision of ObamaCare."
The Congressional Budget Office said the program would but require larger taxpayer subsidies in the future than was projected in the Presidents health care law.
