Does those policies cover opposite sex also? I've never understood why if it does not

The terminology for such unions is still evolving, and the exact level of rights and responsibilities conferred by a domestic partnership varies widely from place to place.

Some legislatures have voluntarily established domestic partnership relations by statute instead of being ordered to do so by a court. Although some jurisdictions have instituted domestic partnerships as a way to recognize same-sex unions, domestic partnerships may involve either different-sex or same-sex couples.
The domestic partnership covers all

It's about time someone used common sense. People who are not married buy homes and cars together yet they can't share health insurance. If anyone is willing to pay the "family" rate, they should be able to include whoever they chose.

Hope you don't need to use the coverage, Dayton, but I'm glad you now have it!

Well, here is the latest edition to this ongoing good/bad story. Chris' store just went union not too long ago so I once again find myself without insurance. This cycle just sucks. To top it off there are rumors that their store could close. They are a low volume store in a smaller community. We live in Michigan and he drives 37 miles one way to work in Indiana. If they did close that store the next closest store would be another 20 miles further one way.
