Suze Orman and Gov. Lincoln Chafee Discuss the Cost of DOMA on MSNBC Live

This morning, CNBC financial expert Suze Orman moderated a panel discussion at New York University about the high cost of marriage inequality and the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits federal respect for legal marriages between same-sex couples. 

The panel featured Lincoln Chafee, Governor of Rhode Island, where a marriage bill passed the House last month and will now face consideration in the Senate; Nanette Lee Miller, the West Coast Partner-in-Charge of Assurance from Marcum LLP; and two married same-sex couples: Colette Hayward & Margert Selby and Mary Jo Kennedy & Jo-Ann Shain. 

Before the panel, Suze Orman and Gov. Chafee appeared on MSNBC Live to speak with Thomas Roberts about the economic harms of DOMA. Watch the interview:
