Extramarital partners remain uninsurable

— filed under: ,

The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that governments and state universities may not legally offer health insurance to the partners of unmarried workers, including homosexuals.

One News Now reports The state's highest court ruled 5-to-2 on Wednesday that a constitutional amendment passed by Michigan voters in 2004, defining marriage as only the union of one man and one woman, also blocks "domestic partner" policies from providing spousal benefits to partners of unmarried employees -- including homosexuals -- at the University of Michigan and other public-sector employers.
