Dr. Kathleen Moltz, an endocrinologist and assistant professor of pediatric endocrinology and diabetes at Wayne State 's School of Medicine , and her partner Dahlia Schwartz, are featured in a story about providing health insurance to the partners of gay and lesbian workers. Both are plaintiffs in a lawsuit that drew national attention and led to Moltz testifying before lawmakers in Washington , D.C. The story notes that the couple's health insurance is provided through Wayne State University . The plaintiffs won a lower-court ruling in September allowing public employers, such as state and public universities, to provide health insurance to gay couples. But last week, in response to a request from state Attorney General Mike Cox, the Michigan Court of Appeals halted implementation of that ruling until the appeal can be heard.
