YES! It's great for business, and doesn't raise taxes
 

I wholeheartedly support this regulatory action to extend healthcare benefits to an additional adult in the household. It is the right thing to do for all Virginians.

I can only assume that there are others like me who care, or are expected to care for their older family members, and being able to extend my health coverage will be a great help!

Beyond caregiving, benefits extension as a law in Virginia will make the Commonwealth more attractive to employers and will bring business and jobs, here. Thank you for considering it! Let's make it pass!
