Could we lower costs if we put it on film?

To get domestic partner benefits at the University of Florida, you have to be having sex with the partner. The Partner lobby is upset that no similar requirement is imposed on the married.

This is one of the itneresting moral hazards of allowing such insurance benefits, the number of people who will use it for insurance, not as an adjunct of a mar--, er, partnership.

The real cure for the problem, of course, is to decouple benefits and employment, which is largely the fault of the tax code.
