Were you under doctor ordered bedrest? Was your employed notified and if so- was FMLA involved?
If you were covered under FMLA your employer CANNOT cancel your health benefits.
I would need to know how about the situation to give you a better answer.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes I was under doctors orders. I gave my employer a note from my doctor that I was going to have back surgery and be off for 2 months. I am not sure if I am covered under the FMLA act our company only has 20 or less employees. 11 days after I started my medical leave (which was the end of the month) my employer stopped my medical insurance without informing me. I found out later when I went to use my insurance. Frank

Can your employer's health insurance require your husband to take his employer's health insurance if his is not free and not as good as yours?
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.
