Short answer, Yes.

Also, you may have hit upon the method to turn this around.

If all single state and federal employees would find a friend with whopping health problems and "marry" them the government and business would have to either remove spouses and children from employee health plans or remove gays from same by restricting gay "marriage".

It'll be interesting when the first straight, unmarried couple applies for insurance under this act. Telling them that unmarried gay couples can have insurance but not unmarried straight couples is clearly discriminatory.
