States that are considering civil unions are not looking to give the couples the same rights and priveliges of married couples. Vermont is the only state currently that is doing this. I really think that is the basic problem that a lot of people are having with the entire issue. That, and people are very scared still of gays/lesbians. Not sure why, but they feel that they are going to give them cooties or something, so they don't want them around and feel that they are inferior to everyone else because they are different.
Sure insurance companies will have a problem with more people being added to policies. I just recently re-did all the insurance paperwork. And my policy with myself and my son is much higher than if it were just me. And Arpi, I know that certain companies pick up large portions of the insurance premium, while your increased payment may have only been $50 per year I would imagine that your company picked up a larger portion of that to allow more savings for you.
I have more to say, but no time to say it...i hope i made sense and my first post in a while isn't just a mindless ramble...
