Biden's Executive Order Targets Childcare and Long-Term Care Accessibility and Affordability.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order aimed at expanding access to long-term care and child care. The order includes more than 50 directives across nearly every Cabinet-level agency and aims to expand and guarantee access to affordable child care for families, including military families. The order also seeks to improve working conditions for early educators, long-term care workers, and child care workers. However, any additional funding for long-term care and child care programs would face steep headwinds in a divided Congress.
