She insists she could put her boyfriend on her employer's health insurance. I thought Domestic Partners were for same sex. Who's right?

I disagree with anyone that thinks same sex and opposite sex couples are the same. The reason that opposite sex is different is that they have the choice to be married to get the benefits and the only choice same sex has is the Domestic Partners laws. I know plenty of people that got married just for the benefits. And I also think that anyone taking advantage of the Domestic Partners Law and being opposite sex should be ashamed.

I think they have to get married.
I hope the purpose of state-sanctioned unions of any type is more than merely getting on someone's insurance. Either they want to be united, or they don't. Gotta take the bad with the good. "For better or worse," as they say.
Otherwise, the system will go bankrupt, fiscally and in other ways too.

Domestic Partners are people of any sex who co-habitate and share their lives. Some companies will honor this sort of arrangement. HOWEVER, many insurance companies will want proof that you have lived together for a certain period of time so that people can't just move in together to abuse the system. It would be unfair for only same-sex couples to get domestic partnership benefits.

It's called fraud. This is why "domestic partners" is nothing more than a scam to rip off America.
