Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I have been working for my employer for 3 years and they have paid 100% of my medical/dental/vision benefits for myself and my spouse - this was one of the benefits for General Managers, they are now saying that we will have a co pay along with all other employee's, can they legally take this benefit away from us?
