CLASS Act long-term care plan gains attention in Congress

It aims to reduce nursing home reliance by enabling in-home care and support, while projecting $72 billion in new federal revenue over ten years and mandating no use of funds for non-care purposes. Skeptics warn the program could grow into a large budget burden, aided by insurance industry opponents.
