#Cost of expanding prescription drug coverage incorporated into savings estimate for reducing payments.
+The CLASS Act makes available government-sponsored long-term care insurance. Because this insurance would have a "vesting period," the provision appears to raise considerable amounts of revenue over the next decade. However, these revenues must ultimately be used to cover the program's costs, and therefore do nt belong in the bill as an offset.
