Comment: California Legislature - Maternity Insurance for Men

A couple days ago we got a letter from the company that provides health insurance for our son (see picture below), and were delighted to learn that our always-on-the-ball California state government had decided to force those eeevil insurance companies to provide our son with maternity coverage. And not just for him, but for all Californians!

High time! Too long have men been denied the maternity benefits that have routinely been offered to women.

Yeah, yeah. I can almost hear my fellow Californians complaining that it'll cost them more. True, but, Hey! what's a few more dollars out of all our pockets compared with the incomparable peace of mind in knowing that if our sons ever get pregnant, they're covered!
