Was I hired under false pretenses
I was hired by a small company that asked me to come work for them. I was hesitant for awhile then relized that they offered one thing that I needed ( health Ins. ) I accepted the job and was told instead of a raise my employer would pay $35.00 a month toward my ins. 3 or 4 months into the ins.company was brought up on some kind of charges and was cancelled. My employer than said it was to expensive to get another company for ins.Is this considered false pretenses do I have a leg to stand on.

Unless you have a writtten contract there is no remedy in law for what happened. You can always switch jobs. Good luck.
Re: Was I hired under false pretenses
While practically speaking you may have been misled or simply fell victim to changed circumstances, your employer's conduct is in no way illegal. As a result, you can only attempt to negotiate a new deal and/or threaten to quit to apply pressure.
