Health insurance for same-sex couples

nikola

Anyone have any info on percentages of firms offering health insurance to the spouses of employees in same-sex partner relationships. Does your firm do it? Number of employees? Geographic location? Thanks.

~15 people, located in Massachusetts.

the firm i used to work at did (not sure at my current firm -- as it has not come up or been mentioned)

both firms: austin TX, less than 10 employees

(note: at my former firm i had to pay 100% for my S.O.'s insurance, male or female...but they did let my wife into the group, which was help enough)

Yup. But you gotta pay a whole lot, just the same as for married folks. In fact, it is cheaper for the spouse/partner to get coverage elsewhere.

i believe my wife's firm does. for me, a 30 year type I diabetic, it's cheaper to get it through her firm than on my own.

if i owned a firm, i would -- sorry, not much concrete help, but. janosh, my wife is now covered independently and i am thinking of getting an HSA coupled with a high-deductible plan for both of us.
