Henry Waxman actually said...

"Just as Social Security succeeded as a wage insurance, reducing elderly poverty from 50 percent to 10 percent, Americans should have an affordable way to finance long-term care."

"No one is immune from the frailty of old age. Anyone can fall ill or become disabled."

"Triumphant statements from opponents of health care reform at the suspension of CLASS do nothing for the grandmother in my district."

"One of the problems people have in trying to buy insurance for long-term care is that if they had any kind of preexisting condition, they can't buy it."
