Under a group health plan (that is, the insurance is through an employer), the employee could take his/her spouse off of the plan. No signature would be needed from the spouse. The spouse would get a notice about continuing coverage through COBRA. At that point, the spouse could pursue being re-instated to the group plan.
Under an individual health plan (bought without an employer), it would depend upon who the primary policyholder was. If the husband is the primary policyholder, he could possibly drop the wife. Again, the notice of COBRA rights would be sent.
