Is the Netherlands Paving the Way in Domestic Partner Insurance?

It looks like it. According to an article at www.radionetherlands.nl, "A Dutch insurance firm plans to offer special healthcare policies for gay and lesbian clients. A spokesperson for the Agis company said the policy had been worked out in co-operation with the COC Dutch gay rights group, and will be available from the beginning of 2008."

Currently in the U.S. insurance companies are not yet jumping at the opportunity of offering domestic partner insurance, although some have been successful in their search. Maybe with the Netherlands lead, other countries will realize that they can be successful too in offering insurance specifically geared to domestic partners.
