What hasn’t changed since 1986

Katie’s new bill would nearly triple the amount of money families can set aside pre-tax for child care or elder care expenses. [Katie Porter for Senate]( Katie just reintroduced bipartisan legislation to lower child and elder care costs for families. Right now, families can annually set aside $5,000 pre-tax for child care and elder care expenses. That’s the same amount families could set aside in 1986, when this law was written. We don’t need a whiteboard to explain why that doesn't make sense. Child care costs have increased 220% since 1990, far outpacing inflation. For many families, child care is now their biggest expense—here in Orange County, the median cost of a year of infant care is $19,000.

Katie will keep fighting to lower costs for families—as a single mom of three she knows this can’t wait.
