Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

my wife works in a nursing home and they have recently started to cancel their medical insurance for various reason, even when people have been out for required surgery, the day they return the insurance will be canceled even though the employee's are paying a large part of the cost out of their pocket. is this legal or do we need to get a lawyer?

Probably, quite legal unless there is a valid contract or collective bargaining type of agreement in place which would prohibit such practice.

(Virginia employers are under no legal obligation to provide health/medical

insurance to their employees in the absence of such agreements as described

above.)
