| Merged Senate Health Reform Bill Must Keep CFC and CLASS | |
| This week the Senate Finance and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committees are merging their separate healthcare reform bills into one single bill that will go to the Senate floor to be debated as early as next week. Two critical provisions that change the way long term services are delivered and funded for people with disabilities and seniors are included. These two provisions complement one another and must be a part of the final Senate bill!The Finance Committee bill includes the Community First Choice (CFC) Medicaid Option. The Health Education Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee’s bill includes the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act (CLASS) Act. We need both of these provisions in the final bill. Please “Take Action” today by clicking to send a letter to your Senators. Feel free to edit the letter to include your personal thoughts on the importance of the CFC Option and CLASS Act. | |
