Introduction --

"Since the 1960s, America's policymaking system has transitioned from one in which leaders like Lyndon Johnsoncould simply disparage the concept of budget projections to one in which policymakers consciously manipulate cost estimates. Paradoxically, the very safeguards put in placeto thwart economically unsound legislation now cause chaosby incentivizing the development of flawed, even blatantlyunworkable, policies. [The] pathologies of the new system are illustrated by the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act and its role in aiding passage of President Obama's landmark health reform law. CLASS wassupposed to bring much needed relief of America's dysfunctional long-term care system, but critics argued that its flawed design rendered the program unviable. However, what appeared to be a naive proposal was actuallya carefully framed policy designed to fit the rules of thegame, particularly the Congressional Budget Office's cost-projection process. Although CLASS was destined for a 'death spiral' requiring massive government bailouts, the CBO estimated it would save tens of billions of dollars. These official 'savings' made CLASS an appealing add-on tothe Affordable Care Act. But when the Obama administrationlater announced that CLASS was impossible to implement, America's long-term care system was left in crisis. This...examination of CLASS and the machinations of Congress provides insight into how the contemporary policymaking process really functions."--
