When my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I had to use sick leave in order to come back to Michigan and care for her. So I am very proud to be an original co-sponsor of the #FAMILYAct.

This important legislation would provide 60 days of partial paid leave for those who need time away from work to care for a new child or a sick loved one. No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and being there for the people who need them most.

For an employer to provide paid leave is commendable. But I am concerned that this may place an undue burden on some employers.

Partial is better than none, but due to the extremely low wages so many workers are being paid, it would leave many people STILL having to choose between food and taking care of family.

Take a look around - lots of people who ARE working full time or more still have to choose between food/rent and their necessary medication. Notice all the medical crowdfunding campaigns.
