One of my friends is about to be dumped off their parents' health insurance and are in the all-american sweet spot of 'too-poor to afford insurance', 'too-rich for medicaid'. We joked about getting married so they could get on my insurance because my union takes care of me pretty good but I'm worried I don't understand the implications enough to make a good decision.
What does getting married actually mean?
Why the fuck not? As long as you trust them enough to bind yourself legally to them. Traditional relationships are bullshit anyway, so there's no reason you should feel obligated to reserve marriage for a romantic partner.
