Obama administration announces that ACA will cover same sex married couples. Because the only thing that could make the conservatives hate this law more would be to have it benefit gays.
Health insurance offered through Obamacare must cover same-sex married couples the same as they would opposite-sex married couples starting in 2015, the Obama administration announced Friday.
"If an insurance company offers coverage to opposite-sex spouses, it cannot choose to deny that coverage to same-sex spouses," Matt Heintz, director for provider and LGBT outreach at the Department of Health and Human Services, wrote in a blog post.
"In other words, insurance companies will not be permitted to discriminate against married same-sex couples when offering coverage. This will further enhance access to health care for all Americans, including those with same-sex spouses."
The new requirement applies to all legally married same-sex couples, regardless of where they live, Heintz wrote.
Okay you just know this is going to drive the Right Wing out of their ever loving minds.
Is mental health covered by Obamacare?
Better health care, equal rights extended to gay people, a recovering economy, just what is this country coming to?
