Before our daughter was born, my wife initially wanted to continue working part time (3 days a wk). After she was born we started to consider whether it made sense for her to stay home full time (I make a lot more than her so it wouldn't be possible for me to stay home). Unfortunately, the health plan with my work is terrible, so we would have to go to private insurance. Since my daughter is still so young we are not comfortable with that option (plus it would be very expensive). Therefore my wife continues to work 3 days a week basically for the health insurance. If there were universal health care we would be the first to sign up.
