Abstract:
When states recognize same-sex marriage, some workplaces are required to offer employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) to married same-sex couples.1 Research found laws establishing domestic partnerships for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations increased health insurance coverage for lesbian women.2 On July 24, 2011, New York State began licensing same-sex marriages under the state’s Marriage Equality Act, and at least 12 280 marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples in the following 18 months.3 This study investigated the association between legalizing same-sex marriage in New York and changes in health insurance coverage in men and women.
