If your question is on the legality of dropping the wife from insurance, the answer depends on the State and on the status (legally separated, etc.)of the marriage. Yes he can, but only during his annual change piriods. It is his payroll deductions and he is the one to say who is or is not covered on "HIS" policys. Sorry

What is the definition of primary coverage in regard to medical insurance?
Often, a person will have "primary" insurance and "secondary" insurance. For example, if you have insurance through your job, and your husband has insurance through his job, then your primary insurance will be the one through your job, and your secondary insurance will be the one through your husband's job. Also, your husband's insurance through his job will be his primary, and yours through your job will be his secondary. There can be some exceptions to this though. For example, if you were married, had a child, then divorced and remarried (retaining custody of the child), and both your ex and current husbands have insurance through work, then the one who's birthday is first is considered the "primary" insurance, and the other is the "secondary" insurance. But there will still be a deductible with each one that has to be met before either one will pay.
Does your homeowners insurance cover you if you are injured on someone else's property?
No You would need to seek coverage under your medical insurance policy for accidental injuries. Homeowners insurance is for property and liabilities that may arise out of home ownership. Home insurance does not replace medical insurance. If you think the property owner is liable through cause of injury, you might seek coverage under their liability if they carry the coverage.
Can your wife take you off of her medical insurance plan before you are separeted if I am retired with no medical insurance of my own?
Answer Sir, I can only quote you regarding Canadian Law that says if your wife is paying for your Medical Insurance through her job as a payroll deduction she can take you off anytime she wishes. Under Canadian Laws a wife or husband is not held responsible for the other one's health insurance needs. Hope this was helpful, but if not, perhaps you can contact the Health Insurance Board where you live. If you choose to buy insurance, then as a general rule, nobody can force you to keep buying the coverage. Yes, you can drop coverage. However, if you are paying for the coverage through IRS Section 125 with pre-tax funds through your employer, then you may (or may not, depending on the circumstances) be able to reverse your decision to reduce your pre-tax earnings.

Should you get medical insurance with your employer if you are already covered from your husband?
If you're adequately covered through your husband's policy then there shouldn't be a need for you to get additional coverage through your company if it's full overlap. But you may want to compare the policies and see if your employer's policy is better, and maybe switch you both to yours and cancel the policy from his employer. Or, if your employer offers other coverages and his doesn't (e.g. vision coverage) consider doing primary medical through his and the supplemental coverage through yours. The one caveat to this would be if you think either of you could be out of work in the near future, in which case I'd take the safest course of action based upon your situations.
Does homeowners cover a fall of a guest?
No, The medical coverage portion of your policy (usually $500) is for minor injuries that can occur around the home and is specific to the named insureds. Your home insurance policy is not a replacement for major medical insurance. If your guest feels you are responsible for their injuries through your negligence then they could sue you for coverage under the liability portion of your home insurance policy.
