Their projection--$184 million--is a little higher than I've heard.
My question remains--in whose "best financial interest" is it to not legalize gay marriage? The cost it would take to cover same-sex partners isn't that much more than it would be now, considering most gay households consist of dual-income earners (both of whom typically carry their own insurance). |
That's the key in your article.

We really don't know, but the key in this article is this.
"Parties on both sides of the issue frequently invoke the hypothetical economic impact of same-sex marriage, Leonard pointed out, so the influx of real-world data from New York could go a long way toward changing those hypotheticals into concrete facts."
Like I said, somebody smarter and
more opinionated on the counter can answer the question better than I can.
