Is it illegal to drop health insurance on my wife?
So here’s the scoop...
We have been separated for almost two years. There is no chance we will get back together again. I got a new job around the same time as we separated, since we were not together at the time I did not sign her up for health ins.
At re-enrollment last June I said that I would gladly enroll her for insurance for a span of one year.
The one year is rapidly approaching and I need to know is it illegal to drop health insurance on my wife? Since we are still legally married?
Thanks for any help I can get

I am not an attorney, so hopefully an attorney will chime in here. But I would like to give you an opinion. If you are still legally married, than I think you should keep her on. I'm not sure what your situation is, but health insurance is vital. If you can afford it, or unless you have a seperation agreement between the both of you which indicates that she should find her own insurance, I would really try to keep her on if you can.
Thats just an opinion from a married man, take with it what you will. I could be wrong, and every situation is different.
