Filling in the Blanks

Franco Mattichio.bench [1]A few days ago, I was browsing Covered California, which is the name of the Affordable Care Act’s insurance exchange in my state. In order to get information, you have to fill out a form. I paused when I got to the dropdown menu for marital status, not being sure whether to select “single” or “never married.”  And for a moment, it kind of stung me that there was even that choice.
