STRONGLY SUPPORT, INDIVIDUALS AND THE STATE BOTH WIN
 

 Strongly support is an understatement we all win when increasing healthcare is the issue. My oldest daughter was lucky enough to work for a company that allowed her signifacant other to be covered thru there company insurance plan allowing them to save money by not having two seperate plans. It allowed them to have money to put toward a better house and to have a higher standard of living thus putting more money into the economy. For those narrow minded people reading this who think she is gay WRONG her and her now husband have just celebrated there first anniversary. My second daughter is the one that is gay and can not wait to get out of this state that treats her and others like her as second class citizens. Our economy is in shambles if this goes thru we all win by keeping and bringing into Virginia those who see this as a step towards equality. Many companys looking to expand that would have ignored this state before will now look at it as a forward thinking state and be more apt to bring much needed jobs into our communities thus benifiting all.
