Today in the US Senate Finance Committee there is a hearing on the ABLE Act. It’s the kind of bill that ought to pass more or less instantly, as it allows people with disabilities to save some money for care without costing them their essential benefits.
And yet, in this Congress, it’s stalled. We clearly won’t get a vote before the August recess. I’m skeptical we’ll get a vote before the mid-terms, but maybe a lame-duck Congress can pass it?
Anyway, back later with more thoughts.
