Health insurance in small companies
Our small business currently provides health insurance
for full-time employees, but does not cover employees'
spouses or children.
The owners/co-presidents of the company, who are
also married to each other, currently have the company
paying for their health insurance (they are with a
different insurance carrier than the rest of the
employees), as well as the health insurance for their
two children.
Do the owners of the company have the right to deny
health coverage to employees' families while having
the company pay for their own children's coverage?
