My wife and I make too much to qualify, so instead we are private pay at 13,600 per year for 1 child. That’s more than I have made at some jobs when I was younger.

Two kids in daycare. 2022 total for us was 30 grand. That doesn't count a full month they were between providers due to acquisition of Daycare 1 and waitlist for Daycare 2.

This is why I'm a SAHM. I love being with my kids, but also in a very real sense we can't afford for me not to be!

I'm not arguing against it being subsidized, I just don't understand what OP is trying to do, 100% coverage means the gov't will pay exactly X amount per child up to a certain point...

​

So are they trying to remove the current program and replace it, or just up the limit that people qualify for the subsidy at.
