Yeah, the insurance thing certainly isn't everywhere. It has to do with state laws, and company policies. (Both the insurance company, and the employer) The company I work for allows domestic partners to be put on insurance, so I could put my BF on my insurance. I do have to jump through some hoops though - I have to have an affadavit that prooves how long we've lived together (must be for at least a year) and we have to have two joint accounts somewhere. (Checking, Saving, CC, Lease Agreement)
