There are no state or federal laws that require your employer to offer health insurance. They can decide to offer plans to full time employees only. They can decide to offer to salaried employees only.
Absolutely not! This is not legal. They are your children regardless of "who's turn it is" to claim them on taxes. I advise you explain this to HR and tell them that if not covered, you will have a lawyer contact them.NOTE: As this is a "legal" question I suggest you contact the Insurance commissioner (or their title for your state) and have them provide you an answer for your situation, in your state.
