i do not think so
No, They can not
My employer requires that my husband participate in his company's health insurance or they will drop him from their insurance. Insurance is a choice offered as a benefit by the employer because the employer is paying a portion of the cost to be insured. You do not have to participate if you don't want to. Also, the question being answered is that can an employer force an employee's spouse to take coverage offered elsewhere: NO. If a company offers a family health plan, they CANNOT specify that a spouse take other insurance if available. They CAN require that if you are declining coverage from them (your own employer), that you show you have coverage elsewhere.
No, they can't force you to buy it from your job. You can buy your health insurance wherever you want too. That's between you and the insurance company you choose to purchase coverage from.
If you are required by law to carry insurance, you can either have it through the employer or provide your own. They cannot legally force you to opt in to their coverage.
No. The employer cannot force you not to take the coverage. However, if you don't want you may have to sign a waiver.
No.
To my knowledge- No they cannot. It almost comes down to discrimination. If they offer insurance to one spouse then your employer shouldn't be able to turn to another person and say "sorry.. your spouse has health insurance options at her job.. denied!" You will be the one paying the premium to carry your spouse! I have honestly never heard of this happening. You should contact your corporate HR though. Hope this is helpful:) Evan
I doubt it. They should be able to waive coverage. See link for citation.
The Government's health insurance plan is going to force everyone to purchase health insurance, or face monetary fines as a punishment. It's unconstitutional to force a citizen to purchase a product, or fine them if they do not purchase a product.
The term premium volume is a measure of in-force business in a health insurance company. In-force business refers to the aggregate total of insurance policies which are being paid that a health insurance firm has on its record.
Yes and no. When I worked for Blue Cross Blue Shield we HAD to take this insurance. It was only like 20 dollars a month but we didnt have a choice. I now work for another company who offers health (which I still took) but at the same time if you were to decline their health insurance they would pay you $1000 and you were SOL if you later decided you wanted to take it (until the next enrollment period. ) Hope this was helpful.

they cant force you to do nothing but it may be required for the job.
