You have to give Stan Lee credit for this little gem.
Not only does Stan smack down same sex couples, he also manages to take a shot at couples of the opposite sex.
SECTION 1. A NEW SECTION OF KRS CHAPTER 164 IS CREATED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
(1) "Domestic partner" means an unmarried adult person of the same sex or opposite sex who is not a blood relative and who lives with a university or college employee.
(2) Institutions in the postsecondary education system as defined in KRS 164.001 shall not provide health benefits for a domestic partner of an employee.
Also, if I read this correctly, if you have an 18 year old adopted child attending school they too will get the Stan Lee Health insurance axe.
Or, if you have an unmarried couple with children then the children can be insured but Mom or Dad can't.
But wait a minute, what if two people are married, just not to the person with which they cohabitate, looks like they can have health benefits. The law doesn’t say you have to be married to the person you are living with, just that you have to be married. And what if they have children with other people, then..... now I'm confused.
This is an example of bad legislation on a number of levels.
Here is the real question: Does Stan ever engage his brain before he starts spouting this drivel?
Answer: Stan is not about making good law or addressing real issues, Stan is all about posturing in front of the public.
Stan is good at the Republican game of creating fear and division and pretty ineffective at ever accomplishing anything.
If he is concened about health insurance why doesn't he introduce legislation to address the 68,000 uninsured children in Kentucky.
