FOXNews.com - Little-Known Health Care Law Provision Is a Budget Buster, Critics Say

Quote:
The Class Act, otherwise known as the Community Living Assistance Services and Support Act, is the federal government's first long-term care insurance program.

Under-reported and the under the radar of most lawmakers, the program will allow workers to have an average of roughly $150 or $240 a month, based on age and salary, automatically deducted from their paycheck to save for long-term care.

The Congressional Budget Office expects the government will collect $109 billion in premiums by 2019.

The only time a lie doesn't fly out of his mouth is when he's reading the teleprompter.

Oh wait, then too but you can't really blame him because those lines were written for him so he's just doing as he's told.

Oh, that must be what conservative hero, Ronnie Raygun, was doing when reading his teleprompter:

Sure, pick on the dead. How about disputing the OP with facts?

I am a little shocked when the Fuhrer does not lie. When, exactly, has he told the truth about ANYTHING?

If Americans are smart they WILL NOT sign up for this. The government can't take in a dollar it won't spend somewhere else.

SS is full of IOU's
medicare is running in the red.

IMHO..save that $150-$240 yourself and don't throw it away.

So this is going to cost each person another $1,800 to $2,880 per year. That's in addition to the 12-19% of their annual income the CBO estimates as the cost of the 30% co-pay Silver Plan.

Wow.

Are we going to have a choice, or is this another government mandate?

Regan could not understand what he was reading, he was already getting senile. It was the chips they put into his head, or pockets.
