HHS has announced that the long term disability program (part of health reform) referred to as CLASS will be suspended indefinitely because it is not financially sustainable. This post is not about whether I like or dislike the proposed CLASS program. It is about applauding the HHS for the candid admission that, no matter how well intentioned the program is, the numbers don’t work so they are not going to do it.
