Yes, it is possible. Domestic partners are becoming more widely recognized now by insurance companies. Easiest way to find out is to have your significant other ask their HR person in charge of their benefits to find out. If Domestic Partners are covered then most likely you'll need to produce evidence of being on a lease together for a year or more and/or joint checking account for one year or more.

California requires domestic partner coverage (which is same sex couples or over 62 male/female). No other state requires it. Most companies can define who will be covered (believe it not, it's not required to cover dependents at all).
If it is not a spouse and the company allows domestic partner coverage, the cost of the coverage for the non spouse dependent is taxable and you will be hit with imputed income and possibly have to pay the full cost of the insurance for the additional person.

It depends on the employer and the insurance policy. Some will cover "domestic partners" of either gender, but some do not. You have to ask Human Resources or check the employee benefits.

In most states, companies are not required to do this and insurance companies are not prepared to do such. There is no law requiring them to so behave.

It depends on the employer, although most employers do NOT allow this.
