next time think before you open your mouth obviously you dont have kids, but you wrote this a year ago so maybe things have changed for you. Most companies you work for wont offer to pay for secondary insurance, or even offer it at all. Parents are not asking for a hand out just some help. Cant speak for all but I dont mind paying so long as the company I work for would help out aswell.

@hapkido0 crap what about the old days they had to survive and they had alot more kids

people need to grow up and stand on there own 2 feet instead of expecting hand outs if you cant afford to have kids then dont have em simple

Being a Canadian who is fortunate enough to get one year (reduced) paid leave, it still shocks me that American women only get 12 weeks unpaid leave. How does this allow women to breastfeed or take care of their children to the best of their abilities in the formative months of life? I'm still outraged by this and am shocked that more American women aren't too.

It's 12 weeks only in some states. In others it's just 6 weeks and no pay. Mothers is US are treated as criminals, totally left out. No wonder crimes rates are so high is US-those kids are raised by strangers, not caring parents.
