BreakPoint | The Bedroom Police

Ah, irony. Open health-benefit extensions to roommates and you've opened a floodgate.

Companies that have extended health benefits to roommates are going to find out fairly quickly what kind of can of worms they've opened. If they think boycotts from morally outraged customers might have stung some of them, wait 'til their HR Veeps tell them about how much money they're now shelling out for benefits...!
