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?
Definitely check if your insurance accepts domestic partnerships first. If they do I don't see why you shouldn't.
If they don't, then no clue. Marriage seems a bit far.
I actually just offered that (just domestic partnership, not marriage) to a friend in a similar situation, but they haven't really said anything in response.
Oh I'm a dumbie they do! This is the best way forward for us, thank you!
