Young Discusses Rising Cost of Child Care under Democrats' Build Back Better Plan
Statement
Issues: Minors and Children
Today, U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) joined a press conference with his Senate GOP colleagues to discuss provisions in Democrats' Build Back Better plan that would reduce child care options for parents, raise child care costs, and hinder child care providers' ability to operate and retain workers.
"In the great state of Indiana child care costs actually exceed the cost of higher education. This issue has not received enough attention.
"The worst thing we could do is to put out of business our existing child care providers, which is precisely what the Build Back Better plan would do," said Senator Young during the press conference.
