Yes Yes and Yes, this is precisely the kind of moving forward we need. Let's work to make this happen before Bob McDonnell becomes Governor. This is not about gay partners, this is about number of human beings who live in the same households and affect each others lives and so would greatly benefit from a plan like this. Think of the adult children thrown off of insurance right after high school who may be living at home till they earn enough money to afford their own place. What a piece of mind for parents with young adults at home. Not all kids head for college, a great number are not sure what they are doing after high school, and now we can keep from throwing their health to the wolves. At 100% of the cost, this will earn money for the insurance company, not cost the state anything!
