proposal to expand health care benefits
 

The "rigid" form of  family that one commenter mentioned has been around for thousands of years.  It is the natural form of things for a man and a woman to come together and have children.  Yes, "the family" has changed over the years.

But for you to ask us the taxpayers to pay for others (besides the worker) is wrong.  First of all, no one has "the right" to health care (this is not Constitutional).  Companies years ago decided to be giving and offered people healthcare and some even offered it to the families (as a perk).  Now, not only are companies expected to provide insurance, but our government as well.  But, of course, our state is so generous with our money that it not only wants to pay for its workers' insurance,but now it wants us to pay for any other person who lives in the same house?  Wow....what generosity.....to hand out other people's hard earned money.  It must feel so good to take from others to provide for others.  Considering the state is financially unstable.....I suppose you will need more money from us?
