[I still care]

This is the great unreported fact of homosexual marraige. How much extra is this going to cost the average american?

How does the average employer deal with a whole demographic of new people added to the health care rolls, many of which are high risk for disease and physical violence?

It is politically incorrect to report on the higher incidences of disease and violence among homosexuals - people are called a racist if they do it. So people will just wonder what happens to their health care premiums.

The Democrats don't care. This just brings them closer to their dream of forced mass health care from the government.

A friend of mine sustained a serious knee injury and was laid up and on crutches for many, many months. He sued "X" which was a business enterprise (the injury occurred on their premises) and they were found negligent. He was awarded monies for medical, pain and suffering AND loss of relations with his wife.

This is a little different as it is a "physical" problem not caused by the Doctors "X".

Not only that; while I certainly sympathize, you'd think that between the two of them, they'd have gone to another doctor. Not only that, the woman could have sued the doctor for negligence IF IT WAS SO and not use this ground at all. I don't think it's going anywhere.

Individual medical insurance at significantly higher rates. No more family plans - if you have a 2 year old and a 4 year old and a spouse, that's 4 plans for you buddy. And since they won't be able to take the risky homosexual lifestyle you so accurately describe into account, we'll all pay more.

I am not enamored of the insurance industry, but this is unreasonable risk even for them
