See this is the issue that I don't think this policy is going to cover.
I agree that it is nice to be fair and give equal amounts per child to all families, but there are limited Childcare spots and this policy won't directly create any.
The single parents most in need of childcare spots are only getting a little help from this. As many of you mentioned, child care is expensive and this will only offset a small portion of the cost.
I believe additional childcare availability may have helped more of the people who most need the help.
