Sweet, the GF's work just made MF couples eligible for "domestic partnerships" :)

Now I can get her benefits without getting married. This was only available to gay partners for the longest time, something I found incredibly odd. Phew!

Here's a "dodged the bullet" beer. :beer:

I thought the "benefits" usually dissapeared after marriage?

LOL! Somehow, I don't think that's what he had in mind though...

Or maybe that's why he doesn't want to get married

I refuse to marry, I've seen too many horror stories. Sharing benefits was pretty compelling, though, she's got a great plan.

Yay, I can go play in the road now!

I looked into this - dragging my fiancee into my company's plan, but they don't offer it for NY state. So it remains that only domestic partnerships (gays) can do this without being married. She'll have to wait then..

Nothing like not getting benefits because you're straight!

I need insurance...then maybe I can finally get to a hospital and get my body well.

sigh..i wonder why my dad's insurance at work doesn't cover me.

And that's simply because gays aren't - or weren't - allowed to be married. Had they been able to, I really doubt that they would have domestic partnerships.

If you're over 18 years of age, are you a full time student?

If not, then that might be why. I don't know that all medical insurance plans follow those rules, though.

ups

my company allows it too provided you're not married to anyone else, they live with you, and you're in an exclusive relationship.

But now that they have them they are discriminating against straight people.

I can see it now. "Oh, I'm not gay because I like men, I do it just to keep my health insurance up."

I guess this sorta adds/changes the meaning of "friends with benefits"

Heh... never thought of that... good one.

Anyway,... I think the requirement was still that you have to have been there for at least a year with the "partner" ... am I wrong ?

Are they going to come over and smell our sheets to make sure it's been a year?

how would they ever keep track of this if you had a different partner every week that needed medical care?
