Can the company do that and make you pay for it as well?

You don't have to work there.

Yes, it is legal. The reason they do that is because there are certain insurance companies that demand either 100% participation or the rates go up by a lot.

To join their group policy? Better check with the insurance commissioner. But why wouldn't you want cheap health insurance?

A company can make any rule it wants for employees (as a qualification for employment) provided it doesnt discriminate or harass it's employees.

No it is not. If you have a spouse you could possibly get insurance through them. Health insurance is a benefit, not a requirement.

No, unless they pay for it 100%.

Well, if you want to work for them, you play by their rules.
