Urban Institute Summary on the CLASS Act

I haven't had the chance to watch this yet, but wanted to tag it for future viewing. All of the health care changes in the pipeline are so confusing. I hope this sheds some light on one of the changes!

The Health and Human Services Department has until October 2012 to finalize plans for a new government-run, long-term care program called the CLASS Act. In the January edition of the Program on Retirement Policy video series, Howard Gleckman discusses the rationale behind the program’s creation, the implementation and political challenges it faces, and ultimately the tough choices facing potential long-term care consumers.
