The People of VA have already spoken - NO, NO, NO!
 

Everyone seems sure that simply allowing health benefits to every Tom, Dick and Mary will somehow benefit our state.  Please explain this to me.  Please explain how setting aside my vote to protect marriage as one man and one woman is going to help the great Commonwealth of Virginia when WE have obviously voiced our opinion and very strongly at that. We must respect and represent our laws - our Constitution! It is a farce when people state that they can't get health insurance on their own.  My unmarried children one a college student have very good health insurance here in the state of Virginia.  Continue to insist that all state residents do their own research and buy their own health insurance.  There are many very affordable plans available. In requiring continued personal responsibility for one's own healthcare you'll be eliminating the possibility that those of us who currently have health care the impending penalty of higher health care costs.  More claims...higher cost...fewer benefits.   

Let's be painfully honest here - this bill has little to do with health care benefits. It’s a round robin to begin again the foisting of homosexual marriage on our population.

We already said NO - I wouldn't go down that road again, if I were you.
