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.

Volunteers and interns are working with AtMP staff to research and write more special topics, so we expect to add many more pages to this section. Want to help? Click here to volunteer!

This section includes

• Job-based health insurance: 40% of the workforce is unmarried, but 60% of workers without coverage are unmarried. No wonder 7% of voters say someone in their household decided to get married mainly to have access to health care benefits. We explain what's gone wrong, and how to make it right.
• 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.
• 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, or tell your own story .
