I like my job at the U and I feel honored to be working for such a great institution. I plan on working at the U for very long time.

However, I have one area of concern -- the health insurance coverage. This policy does not affect just me, but countless other staff and faculty members. You see, anyone who is unmarried and living with a partner or significant other who chooses not to marry, or cannot marry, has no choice except to either purchase health insurance for their loved one (and pay up to three times more to insure their partner) or watch their partner go without health coverage.
