Kirsten Gillibrand actually said...

"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."

"Parental leave is not even half of what's needed."
