New healthcare fight is joined as White House’s 2010 law implodes

By Julian Pecquet – Congressional Republicans on Monday (10/17/11) called for the immediate repeal of a major component of the 2010 healthcare reform law as the issue blew up in the administration’s face.

The administration announced late Friday it did not see a way to make the long-term care CLASS Act, which was crafted by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), pay for itself.
