Seems the liberal are admitting to defeat on the HCB.


The Obama administration announced today it will not move forward with a new long-term care insurance plan -- a major part of its health care law -- because of problems with paying for it.

"Despite our best analytical efforts, I do not see a viable path forward," wrote Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in a letter to Congress.

Congressional Republicans had vowed to kill the program, calling the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports program (CLASS) too expensive.

A key part of the law -- the requirement that nearly all Americans buy some form of health insurance -- is also being challenged in court; the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the case next summer.

Another stunning defeat for the HC AKA Obamacare. But this time its Obama supporters who are doing the defeating by admitting they can't pay the bill.:cool:

The Obama administration announced today it will not move forward with a new long-term-care insurance plan -- a major part of its health care law -- because of problems with paying for it.

I guess this means older Americans will be on their own if they need long term nursing care.

They havent gone far enough - repeal the Healthcare Bill in its entirety.
