See this is interesting to me. For daycare to become free to parents, ideally governments would subsidize it to 100%. That money comes from somewhere, so probably taxpayer dollars.
So you are still paying for it, just slightly more indirectly.
So, would you rather pay a lot for childcare all at once when you need it (for 5 years per kid), or pay a little via taxes forever?

We already do free childcare via K-12 education in the US via taxes, we just need to fill in the gap before that.
