All responses to the list or list owner will be returned! ] Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA has approved the full benefit package for DP partners. So our level of benefits (effective Jan 1 1995) will be the same as it is for married heterosexual couples. The only problem left in this battle is getting BC/BS to be able to provide coverage. I know they had asked the state (PA) for permission, but that was denied based on some strange wording the state AG didn't like. Does anyone know where BC/BS stands on this? Are they going to re-petition? Our other choices (HMO's) are okay, they've gotten permission (US healthcare, some others). But I know A LOT of people wish to stick with BC/BS. ========================================================================== == Anthony J.
