Last week, a report from a Republican working group revealed that administration officials, in the rush to pass Obamacare, ignored internal warnings from government experts about the fiscal sustainability of a long-term care insurance entitlement program included in the health reform law. Throughout the health care debate, officials within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as well as the Health and Human Services Department, repeatedly warned that the CLASS Act would be a fiscal disaster. Yet, the final version of Obamacare not only included the CLASS Act; it even counted CLASS as a cost-saving measure.
Now, the Republicans behind the report want to know how high the warnings reached: Was HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, for example, aware of the concerns about CLASS even before Obamacare passed? They also want to know what the administration plans to do now, given that CLASS has passed, to ensure the program won’t collapse and ultimately require federal subsidies.

Wondering why the “Republicans” would even care IF their goal is to ELIMINATE Obamacare? What is all this talk if Obamacare is truly targeted for elimination?
I smells a HUGE RAT!
