Are there any obstacles to this happening? I see none.

[SCHROLL]

There’s one thing I see happening rather quickly if we do indeed go down this road as a nation-any and all employers will drop coverage on all non-employees. No one is going to want to foot the cost of insurance coverage that will be added by the inclusions of these lifestyle choices.

Are you kidding?

Talk to some of the people here on FR who’ve been married and divorced. You’ll get an earful.

If all you’re saying is “any obstacles”, you’re not looking hard enough.

Ever heard of “bigamy”?

I should write a book.. “The Whoreing of Marriage”..

It’s... Important when marriage becomes not totally for children but a business enterprise....

If I have the right to mary who I want, does the other party need to know? I may need a polygamist relationship with Salma Hayek and Kate Upton.

We are well on our way to having no private insurance in this country. Obamacare got that ball rolling, but the points you raise will give added impetus to the trend.

I have a job. My employer gives me health insurance. Voila! My 27 wives will also get health insurance. Guess what happens? My employer no longer provides health insurance.It's Cloward-Piven for the private sector, you see -- employer-provided benefits are overwhelmed and the private system collapses.

But, don't despair! The federal government will roll out a Single Payer program (this has been the plan all along) that will give everyone in the country -- no matter their status -- equal access to below average health care. And it's all FREE!

The repercussions from "redefining" marriage will be many. Tax law and health care law are just two of the areas affected.

The Death of Marriage

[Servant of the Cross]

Could the enterprising businessman, for example, charge a fee and marry himself to thousands of strangers, allowing these customers to share in his health insurance, and any other rights accruing to married parties?

MAIL ORDER BRIDES/GROOMS (what difference does it make?)!

Contact XYZ at 123. You receive FREE healthcare and many other 'rights'. Ain't America great?!

It’s already been proposed here that parents should “marry” their children in order to avoid inheritance taxes.

Well, consummation will limit him to adding a few a day- unless he’s young.

Speaking of consummation: what act is considered ‘consummation’ for perverts’ marriages?
They haven’t the means to consummate their marriages in the way courts have always defined it before.
