Well, we certainly don't want to decrease access. We want to try to maintain the current supply and expand on it, but when we're looking at how we expand, we have to think about the kinds of strategies that are going to work.
In the past, what governments have done is exactly what you're proposing to do: to hope that individuals will be incentivized, primarily through the profit motive, to set up shop. That actually has led to the problem we have now, which is inequitable access and the lack of child care in many communities, particularly in communities that can't contribute to making a business work, particularly for profit.
It's so much better to put the public money into expanding a public and not-for-profit system and to do it in a planned and deliberate way to address the access issue.
