NAIFA's Robert Miller Comments on Congressional Committee Vote to Repeal the CLASS Act

NAIFA President Robert Miller issued the following statement on the House Ways and Means Committee vote in favor of HR 1173 to repeal the CLASS Act:

“NAIFA applauds Congressman Boustany’s leadership and the Ways and Means Committee’s decision to repeal the unsustainable long-term care insurance program called the CLASS Act.  NAIFA supports the goal of achieving financial security to cover long-term care services. However, we believe there are better ways to help people plan for their long-term care needs, such as offering quality insurance products at people’s places of employment. We look forward to working with Congress in a bipartisan manner to enact sustainable long-term care reform.”
