WorldNetDaily reports that a health-care plan being kicked around congress right now could be an expensive proposition for married folk.
According to Minnesota congressional candidate Allen Quist, the fine print of provisions still alive in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives deliberately create enormous pressure for couples to live together without marriage – or even get divorced – by charging married couples thousands of dollars more in premiums and fees.
He goes on to say, "In fact you have government policies tearing apart marriage. Marriage is the foundation of society. It's the foundation of our government and to a large degree the basic unit in the church. [The policy] undermines the church's teaching and undermines church structure."
"It weakens the family. It weakens the church, and it weakens our country,"
