Room: 201

“Imagine if there were a program to help make the costs of raising or caring for a family manageable. Imagine ‘if new parents could draw on a public family care insurance fund to take paid leave to bond with their new babies and then use it to pay for trusted daycare so that they can return to work. [Imagine] if relatives of an aging loved one could tap into that same fund to hire a home care worker so they don’t have to quit their jobs and move cross-country to provide care.’” [The Nation, “Who Tops the 2019 ‘Nation’ Honor Roll?”, 12/24/19.] Imagine… Universal Family Care!
