Can a husband drop his wife from medical coverage even if she cannot get insurance through her work?

Generally, a husband cannot unilaterally remove his wife from medical coverage unless she has access to health insurance through her employer or another source. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) provides certain protections for individuals who lose health insurance coverage due to specific life events, such as job loss or divorce. If the wife is unable to obtain alternative coverage through her work, she may be entitled to COBRA coverage, which would allow her to continue the health insurance coverage she had through her husband's employer. It's important for both parties to understand the specific terms of their health insurance plan, as well as any applicable state laws, to determine the exact rights and options available in the situation.
