As a taxpaying Virginian, I am glad to pay taxes to cover all of the employees and families of state employees.  This is one way that all persons will be finally covered by appropriate insurance that serves to protect the workforce.  I agree wholeheartedly that these  benefits NEED to be expanded to  -ALL persons living in the houshold within the definition as set forth in this proposal.

Our definition of those qualifying within the household needs to be expanded.  This will bring Virginia into an equal playing field with Fortune 500 companies.  I want the enployees of the Commonwealth to be the best - not the after thoughts at the margins.  This makes good business sense.

A reminder that this is a benefit that already exists, and has for many years for some employees and it is seen as a regular and normal "cost of doing business.".  Yes insurance is expensive.  NOT having insurance for all is a great deal more expensive.

Stand on the side of love Virginia, not the side of limits.
