Can your health insurance company force your spouse to take her employer's health plan?

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.

Can you cancel your spouse's health insurance during a separation in Maryland?
That would not be a very nice thing to do, what you should do is write to your spouse and the insurance company, point out that you are now separated and indicating that you will no longer be paying for your spouses insurance after a fixed date in the future. This informs the insurance company of your intentions and allows your ex spouse to arrange their own health insurance.

Typically, if a person is insured under a company's group insurance plan it is up to the company as to how much of the premium the company wants to pay toward the employee's insurance.
