So it's as it sounds on the can. The benefits he's referring to basically equate to a lump sum at the end of the year (and you start losing them when your income is over a certain amount-usually the 100k mark) and claiming up to $7500 per year on childcare costs plus extra benefits for childcare if you meet a certain income requirement (which I believe is around $150,000/year).
In layman's terms, if your kid isn't vaccinated and your kid doesn't attend an elite private school, you will be paying full fees if your child is enrolled in any after-school care program. If your infant is in daycare, then you are boned my dear. (to give you some perspective, my old company charged $165/week pre-benefits and that was if you had your kid enrolled in every session we offered on a permanent basis. If you had your kid in on a casual basis or a semi-permanent basis, it was around $16-$18/morning, $25 or so in the afternoon and slightly less than that combined if your had kiddo in both sessions on the same day. Vacation care was $45 for the whole day, with excursion days going as high as $70 in some places)
I'm kinda happy that the government has closed the loophole (the whole "don't vaccinate, don't get paid" thing was done under the previous government, but parents just simply had to get a form signed and that was it). The religious haters are also satisfied to a point...the religion needs to be one where there's an actual governing body present and they need to have registered an objection with the state and federal governments (and I believe the government will have a list). Not sure how they'll follow up on that though, as any parent could claim that they're members of XYZ church...the church that was created to get around the issue however will NOT be recognised since Blind Freddy could recognise that it's just a shill.
Medical objections will also be recognised, although I think there will be some tightening around that and I believe that if the school is handed a form claiming that the child has some reaction to the vaccine or is allergic to a certain ingredient, they'd be watching verrry closely....
