AtMP calls for truly universal health care reform, and criticizes any reform that falls short of making access to health care marriage-neutral. Today, marriage is the on / off switch for access to health care in America. Marital status is a barrier not only to obtaining health insurance, but also to establishing hospital rights and to caring for significant others without job penalties.

In this section, you’ll find information that is personal, political, and totally unique. No other organization is dedicated to ending marriage discrimination in health care.

This section includes

• Job-based health insurance: everything from how to get domestic partnership benefits, to an analysis of which reform proposals are good for unmarried people.
• Hospital rights: from how to protect yourself and your loved ones, to our campaign to ensure that everyone has a real right to self-determination.
• AtMP’s current grassroots actions: helping people like you speak out about health care!
• Your stories: AtMP has collected over 850 true stories about how marriage affects health care, by people like you from all over the USA. Meet some of your compatriots, and tell your own story here.
• Links to other resources
