Countries that provide government funding for childcare don't just throw money at childcare programs, they also regulate the price of childcare as well.

Yeah, that’s a good point.

Don't know if it matters but I live in a country that provides pretty good funding for childcare and access is atrocious. You wait for months (or years!) and get a couple days a week. This is in the Netherlands.
