If you are aware of the current discussions about health care, you know that a lot of people disagree about the reform. Apparently, this is not the only problem Californians have. What has been observed in California is that there is no major distinction between a married couple and a couple living in concubinage. Why is there a need to discern this? For the purposes of providing health insurance to one’s partner. Domestic Partnership Registry is the unit who’s responsible of this, but it seems that the terms under this organization did not provide enough coverage to those living in concubinage.
Actually, the California Insurance Equality Act was passed five years ago and this part of legislation sustains to provide health insurance to those living together, but not under the status of being married. Nonetheless, these types of people must make known the status of their living together to the Declaration of Domestic Partnership in the State of California before they can make a claim.
This new legislation has extended its arms to benefit even same sex partners living together and even those who are still dependent on such spouses. Take note that those living under a same sex union could not benefit from such a scheme as provided by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 1986.
