The Senate voted to keep the CLASS Act, a long term care insurance plan, within the health overhaul package. The move drew Republican resistance and showed Democratic moderates balking at fiscal concerns as Max Baucus and Kent Conrad sided with the GOP. The plan aims to fund home care and nursing home costs through modest premiums, with at least 50 dollars daily for disabled beneficiaries.
