In fact, child care would in important ways be easier than health care reform. The big problem Obamacare had to confront was the existing crazy quilt of private insurance, which it tried to disturb as little as possible; this added a lot of complexity 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

I'm being bombarded by claims that a national child care program is impossible — that there would be no way to police the use of the funds, that the administrative burden would be immense, etc. But many other rich countries already have such programs! 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that we don't have a well-established child care system — or a powerful child care industry lobby — means that the plan can be less intricate and less easily demagogued than health reform (except for those who believe that all good things are Communism) 4/ — PolitiTweet.org
