What it does

Creates a national paid family and medical leave insurance program financed by small payroll contributions.

Why it matters

The U.S. remains an outlier among peer democracies without national paid leave.

Progressive take

Cite DOL and OECD leave comparisons. 'Pro-family' politics without paid leave is branding.
