“I know that neither one of us would have considered marrying the other if there was no interest in starting a family and having children,” Corey Briskin said.
A gay couple filed a class-action charge of discrimination against New York City on Tuesday alleging that the city’s insurance policy is discriminatory because it does not cover in vitro fertilization, orCorey Briskin and Nicholas Maggipinto said they started talking about having a family nearly a decade ago, leading up to their engagement in December 2014.
Briskin left the position in March and is now a law clerk for a federal judge, but he is still covered under the city’s insurance plan through a federal law called COBRA, which allows employees to continue to receive insurance coverage from their former employer for up to three years if they pay the full premium.
A City Hall spokesperson said in an emailed statement that New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ administration “proudly supports the rights of LGBTQ+ New Yorkers to access the health care they need.” Maggipinto said he felt saddened by the city’s response and that it was “conduct that was unbecoming of a progressive city.” He added that Briskin devoted his career to public service, making far less money than he would have in the private sector, and the couple thought one of the benefits they would receive was having 95 percent of their health care costs reimbursed.
