How can an employer just cancel a full-time employees health insurance without notice?
Legally, in most situations, an employer cannot "just cancel" any employee's health insurance without notice. A federal law known as ERISA requires 60 days' notice of "material reductions." Courts disagree over whether cancellation is a "material reduction" but all at least agree that concurrent notice (it's still notice to say 'I am canceling your health benefits as of today.') must be given to comply with fiduciary provisions. You should consult an attorney or your local labor board.
Can your employer dismiss you without giving you reasonable notice?
Yes, the employer can dismiss the employee without notice at certain cercumstaces. This can be for theft.
Is it illegal to remove spouse from health insurance without their knowing?
No, it is not illegal. If it is a group plan (through an employer), the employee could submit the enrollment change without the spouse's signature. The employer or insurer would not question it, since he or she is still married to the person. The spouse would know that he or she had been dropped when a COBRA notice arrives, assuming the employer offers COBRA coverage.
Is it legal can your husband cancle your health insurance?
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. For more plain and simple answers to health insurance questions, visit Health Unsurance blog.

Is it legal for your company to cancel yopur insurance without notice while wife is pregnant?
Who is paying the insurance policy, you or the employer? If the insurance was part of your compensation package at work, I believe that you must be notified at least a certain number of days in advance of its being cancelled or withdrawn, so that you can obtain replacement insurance. Also, look into COBRA.

Can an employer cancel your medical insurance while you are FMLA for surgery?
The answer may depend on the dates when you were on FMLA leave as the law underwent some changes and is date dependent. In general, insurance may only be canceled if insurance payments were not made. But for this to occur, the employer must give you advanced notice that this will occur due to nonpayment.
