[quote=Anonymous]To PP above (“‘someone else’” doesn’t pay for it”). I think you misunderstand public services. None of your examples are like maternity leave. Maybe you don’t drive on highways, but this country can’t function without them. The transportation of goods and people is key to our economy. Have you seen a country without highways? Did it seem prosperous to you?  Likewise, public schools aren’t just a service for parents, like you’re doing parents a favor by paying. They are a key component of our democracy. We all need educated citizens to vote.

You brought up disability insurance. I am not against disability insurance, and I think the way it’s used now to support maternity leave as well as other illnesses is fine. The key is that it supports other situations besides pregnancy, and that is has rules surrounding its use (size of company, etc).

This thread is not about disability insurance. It’s about individual employers (not businesses with 50 or more employees) giving their nannies paid maternity leaves out of their own pocket.[/quote]
