There is no such thing as “policing” the daycare fraud. You have to end the system itself. Medicaid pays daycare providers $25-$35 per hour to watch children for up to 12 hours per day. You’d be better off just sending that money straight to poor mothers to stay home and raise their children. That would take poor mothers out of the workforce, raising wages for everyone else, and attracting more men into the workforce. Fathers would make more money, mothers would stay home. And far less money going to daycare scammers.
