They can call themselves conservative, but it seems as if they are deluding themselves.

Says you. I submit that I do not recognize your authority to declare any of the aforementioned FReepers being delusional.

And no I am not trying to be the "conservative cop" defining exactly who is and who isn't conservative

Perhaps you genuinely don't recognize it, but you are indeed doing just that. When you proclaim on your own authority that those who don't agree with you on this particular issue are deluding themselves that they are conservatives, you are indeed playing conservative cop.

How conservative is it for states to subsidize health care for non-commital couples by letting them share a health plan that is otherwise only available to married couples?

Are you speaking of government employees? If not, last time I checked it was up to the employer to decide who could be included on a health care plan. I oppose actions by the state to compel an employer to provide such benefits or to prohibit them. How much your employer contributes to your health care and who else it will allow on the plan should be the decision of the employer without any interference from government whatsoever. Capitalism is a wonderful conservative concept. I wish it were practiced more.
