The SCAN Foundation

Washington Post Bloggger Ezra Klein breaks down the CLASS program and provides a direct link to The SCAN Foundation's Long-Term Care Policy Simulator in a Thursday, July 29 post.  He writes, "Helpfully, the SCAN Foundation has created a Web applet that allows you to design your own version of the CLASS Act and see what the effect on the budget deficit, coverage of the disabled, premiums, and so forth would be. You can specify how much of the plan you want to fund through premiums, what subsidies you want the poor to receive, what average benefit you prefer and more. It's the sort of thing I wish existed for every Research Desk question, so check it out, play around and settle on your ideal proposal."
