A Third Of U.S. Families Struggle To Afford Diapers. This Bill Aims To Change That.
The End Diaper Need Act of 2021, introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, aims to create a better government safety net for families that can t afford diapers.
In the United States, 1 in 3 families struggle to provide enough diapers for their children ― often forcing them to choose between food and the vital child care item. Sometimes, it even keeps families from sending their kids to day care. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) introduced a new bipartisan bill on Monday that aims to ensure every family can afford diapers.
