    Families need #paidleave throughout their lives—if a plan only serves new parents, it would leave far too many behind.

        Excuse me Senator, but before anyone can get paid leave they need a good paying job. Especially right here in upstate NY; your state.

        It's very relevant, if you don't have a job, there's no need for leave.

        Right, you can explain( I'm sure) how an employee can take paid leave and expect their employer to just suck that up. Will cost us all more.

        Fortunately, I had paid leave when my mom had cancer & needed care. Otherwise, she would have been in a nursing home using Medicaid.
