It has recently become apparent the lengths to which opponents of long term care supports will go to defeat reform. Several governors are partnering with the long term care insurance industry to mobilize against the CLASS Act and the Community First Choice Option. We cannot sit idly by and watch opponents of our priorities kill the progress we have made: the time to act is now!

The Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act and the Community First Choice (CFC) option are long term services and supports reforms needed now. The CLASS Act creates a national, affordable long term care insurance program. The CFC Option creates a new home and community-based service within the Medicaid state plan.

It is urgent that we contact our Senators to ask them to support keeping the Community First Choice option and the CLASS Act in the final Senate health reform bill.
