Kirsten Gillibrand actually said...

"Using your retirement security to fund paid time off from work when you have a child is not paid family leave at all--it's robbing from your retirement to be able to care for loved ones now."

"As Congress continues discussions and drafts legislation to provide for paid leave, we would recommend that it leverage the private insurance industry as you move forward."

"It would make these programs more affordable, and put small businesses on a more even footing with large corporations."

"America's need for paid leave is well-established and clear--and need doesn't distinguish by political party, or family type, or care need."
