Can an Company/employer offer benefits (health insurance) only to the employee and not his spouse?

Vandy asked:


Mu husband has been offered a job in Arizona and it seems the company only has employee benefits for employees and not for his family. That means that only he gets health insurance and not I. We don’t have a kids yet, but plan to. Is that legal for a company to do that? Can we ask for coverage? What should we do?

    For position that offers family coverage to decline and look for family coverage through your expenses if your own employer has no obligation to do that offers family health insurance coverage the cost of your own employer has.
