BC/BS Accepts Same-Sex Marriages

In the wake of a court case regarding same-sex couples, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Western New York has changed its policies. After a ruling out of Monroe County earlier this year, Jeanne Kornowicz, a school psychologist at Cheektowaga Central School, asked for coverage for her partner, whom she married in Canada. Yesterday, Blue Cross Blue Shield announced it will now insure legally-married same-sex couples.
