State health care benefits are intend for family members of state employees. in 2006 the voters passed the marriage admendment recognizing that a marriage consists of a man and a woman. Same sex partners cannot legally be married in Virginia and therefore cannot constitute a family and should not receive healthcare benefits. With it's current budget deficit Virginia should not expand healthcare benefits to non family members.
