I am in support of this proposal. Shame on those who are trying to twist this proposal into something it is not. It is NOT meant to cover entire families of a renter, or your brother's family and all their kids. Please! You know that it is meant to cover a non-spouse and the children of the two non-spouses. Period. Those of you who do not agree with the "lifestyle" attempting to be covered by this - shame on you! It is because of narrow-minded citizens that Virginia elected to exclude a portion of its citizenry by changing Virginia's constitution to exclude non-traditional familiesbecause of who they choose to call their family. It is not going to cost the Commonwealth any more than the normal amount of new heterosexual marriages or families that are submitted each year. It is time to stop the discrimination once and for all. This is a simple human right for ALL nuclear families to have basic medical coverage.
