It is hard for unwed couples to get individual health insurance, be they heterosexual or gay. According to a well written article in the nytimes.com, "...getting health insurance for a domestic partner is still a challenge." "...You've got to go through a lot of hoops..."

About one third of companies with more than 500 employees offer domestic partner benefits. That percentage drops off sharply when employers with fewer employees are counted. Even if the couple are married, but of the same sex, that does not always obligate the employer to cover the same sex spouse.

Many insurance companies have no problem insuring domestic partners, or gay couples. It is a matter of doing your homework and going site to site, insurer to insurer, to review options and plans. Of course, here at AlliedQuotes, the links to different insurance companies are already set up on the web page. All you need to do is point the mouse and click.
