Call and Contact Your Senators!
Tell them that the Community First Choice Option and CLASS Act MUST be in the Healthcare Reform Bill sent to the Senate Floor!
The U.S. Senate is going to begin the process of merging its two versions of healthcare legislation as soon as this week. The bill currently being marked-up in the Senate Finance Committee contains the Community First Choice Option. The bill passed by the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee contains the CLASS Act.
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.
Call Toll-Free: 1-800-828-0498 and ask for your Senator's office. Say:
"I strongly support the Community First Choice Option and the CLASS Act as a part of the final healthcare bill in the Senate. I am urging the Senator to support both of these priorities as the Senate Finance and HELP Committees merge their bills."
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.
