“Addressing gay and lesbian concerns, the Obama administration Friday moved to expand health insurance access for same-sex couples.”
The Health and Human Services Department also said: “Insurers offering spousal coverage for heterosexual couples must also provide it to legally married couples of the same gender.”
“The administration acted after gays and lesbians complained about confusing rules on spousal coverage in the new health insurance exchanges, particularly in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage.”
