Health benefits have been tied to marriage for the good of children and the good of society. The proposed expansion, by allowing non-married couples or groups the sme benefits as those who are married, will weaken the foundational institution of marriage. Children develop better within a family which includes a mother and a father. The marriage amendment, the Constitution of Virginia, stands in oppostion to proposals like this one. So do we tax payers who do not want a tax increase for an expansion like this.
