employer cancelled my insurance

I logged in, but the post didn't come up with my name, nor will it let me enter my name. It's the least of what is going wrong.

Specifically what my employer did was to (re)interpret certain words in the blanket requirements for eligibility to suggest that the requirements have to be met and remet every year. Specifically, as a college teacher, I must teach fall and spring to quote "initially qualify" for ins. Then, to quote "retain insurance" I must teach 12 credit hours per academic year.

This year, because of my medical problems, I taught spring and summer. That's 14 hours. The Dean was fine with that. Everybody was fine with that. Until time to renew the health insurance.

So the loophole they used is how the define the word "initial." That And they probably can. It's their policy. They are not going to say 'we're cancelling you because you have cancer'

I'm just devastated about it. I continued working through diagnosis, through surgery, through chemo and this is what I get. Another big blow. But this one feels especially personal. Like "society doesn't care about or appreciate you and your work".

I ran into this a couple of years ago when I was "eligible" for insurance through another employer. The insurance cost something like 1,056 per year and paid 1,000 per year. So I turned it down. Then I couldn't get insurance through the state because I was "eligible" for an employers plan.

It's just sick. It's all so sick. This afternoon, I felt like my spirit to fight this thing was breaking. If you have any ideas, or job leads, or just moral support please post.
