There are many obstacles that those who want Same Sex Marriage. Even after the supreme court would agree on it they would still face troubles. Those who are married to the same sex would be affected by where they live and work would still affect  their access to health insurance. The Supreme Court is still deciding whether the Defense of Marriage Act is constitutional.  Many are still weighing the pros and cons of the act and if it is possible to pass in states. The issue that same-sex couples would have, is that they would have health care coverage problems. Many believe that if same-sex couples live and work in the same district that they should not have problems with their health insurance. In 2012, over half of employers with 10 or more workers offered same-sex health insurance benefits, according to human resources consultant Mercer.
The fact that many believe that this is a way to shoot down DOMA is unbelievable. Those who are in a same sex relationship have the same right as everybody else. If many employers are offering same-sex health insurance benefits they why can't the government offer any type of benefit to same-sex couples.
