Do NOT spend VA tax $s to provide health insurance for anything but married heterosexual couples!!
Expanding benefits to same sex relationships is a clear violation of the marriage amendment.
Only heterosexual spouses and children should be eligible for state health care benefits. Because these types of benefits have traditionally been “benefits of marriage,” expanding beyond marriage violates both the spirit and the language of the marriage amendment.
Attempts at expanding this beyond marriage makes any and all relationships, hetero or homosexual, equal to marriage, thereby undermining that foundational institution.
Kaine’s plan as proposed borders on the ludicrous, as it would seemingly allow a recent college graduate that gets a job with the state and who happens to room with a half dozen of his buddies to put them all on his health insurance.
I oppose this legislation. My tax dollars should NOT be used to provide health insurance for anything but married heterosexual couples!
