Two-parent households with two preschool-age children and incomes up to $130,000 would qualify for federal cash assistance for daycare. Single parents with two preschoolers and incomes up to $113,000 would qualify. And some families with incomes over $200,000 would be eligible for health-insurance subsidies.<ref>https://archive.is/SoYT8</ref>

''The Economist'' noted that “Joe Biden wants to Europeanise the American [[welfare state]]” by installing child care subsidies, universal government preschool, “free” community college, and related programs. When the UK implemented subsidized child care and preschool programs, it led to private providers going out of business, along with higher costs and less customer satisfaction.<ref>https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/05/20/joe-biden-wants-to-europeanise-the-american-welfare-state</ref>

Steep government regulation of child care programs limits the supply of daycare providers by raising costs and barriers to entry. Occupational licensing and expanded degree requirements for daycare workers create higher costs. Between 2005 and 2017, the number of small, in-home family child care centers dropped by 48 percent, with providers citing increased regulations as a reason. [[Coronavirus lockdown]]s only made matters worse. Many small daycare providers shut down entirely, contributing to supply shortages and rising costs.
