Expansion of Health Care Benefits
 

Please know that I oppose Governor Kaines planned expansion of health care benefits as being fiscally unsound and a slippery last minute move to pass something that the voters in this Commonwealth have rejected.

Also please note that:

1) the proposal to expand health care benefits beyond marriage is a clear violation of the Constituion of Virginia; and

2) Such an expansion of benefits, despite claims by propronents, has to increase the cost of health insurance for the State and consequently, the taxpayer.

Please let Gov. Kaine know of my opposition! Thanks!
