Sixteen state governments and 152 city and county governments also offer expanded access to health insurance benefits to their employees. So do most leading universities and colleges such as Harvard, Duke, Furman, Wake Forest, Washington & Lee, Georgetown, George Washington, Sweet Briar, Hollins, Penn State, and Davidson - some in Virginia, and some that our universities compete with for top faculty and students.
In addition, this worth 15 pts/100 in the HRC Corporate Equality Index. Many corporations are ranked by that index and partner health insurance is one of the items.
Strongly support it.
