Chris Dodd said "Just a quick point. I want to point out this amendment of ours is phased in over 5 years, so there will be plenty of notice and time here for providers to try to get themselves ready to met quality standards. We do not rush this in; we allow time for providers and families to learn about and to prepare for higher quality care. My second point is that accredited or certified settings cost a bit more. If parents want to place their children in those situations, given the fact it costs more, our providing a tax incentive with a bit more of a break makes sense.
