Blue Cross Blue Shield Fights Florida's Marriage Amendment

 

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, the state's largest health insurer, is working to defeat the marriage-protection amendment that will go to voters Nov. 4.

Randy Kammer, an attorney and vice president for regulatory affairs and public policy, claimed the amendment would "have a major impact on our ability to provide benefits for domestic partners."

John Stemberger, president of the Florida Family Policy Council and state chairman of Yes2Marriage.org, told the St. Petersburg Times the ballot's language was crafted to avoid affecting domestic-partner benefits.

"It's completely wrong," he said about the claim that domestic-partner benefits would be threatened.
