How many companies allow you to add your spouse to your medical and dental insurance, if your spouse is the same sex.

If your married they can't restrict adding spouse because they're same sex.....

Another thing to consider: how much money does your spouse make and how are you going to fill your taxes. If your spouse makes considerably less than you do, you may want to file as 'Married Filing Separately', instead of jointly. Reason being is if your spouse doesn't make much they could look into the Marketplace Exchange and have a health care subsidy available that may reduce the cost of plans or make some plans free. If you plan to file 'Jointly' though your income would be counted together and dived equally between you for the sake of determining eligibility for a subsidy in the Marketplace.

It might be cheaper all and all to be on separate plans, file taxes separately, and have your partner get their insurance subsidized if they aren't expecting to earn as much as you. Just something to look into...

As usual, Patrick tries to stoke some sort of fire in here and finds that the fine people of this forum are not judgmental, but only try to give him legitimate answers to his never boring, but most unusual questions. I'm proud of both Rob and Justin D for not taking the bait.

And here I thought he was "coming out" for us...

I don't see how Patrick is coming out. Several months ago he said he was happily married for many, many years.

Just a question to stir the pot.

A small popcorn will do, thank you.
