What you can do is sue your employer to get back the premiums that were taken, but not paid on your behalf and for the $10,000 in medical bills and other out-of-pocket costs associated with your employers failure to keep your insurance paid. Additionally, your employer may also have committed fraud. At this point, you should act fast. Typically, when an employer stops paying health insurance premiums the company is having cash problems and is holding onto the money to stay afloat or someone is stealing the money. In either case, the more quickly you act, the more likely there is that there will still be some money to recover.At this point, you need to consult directly with an attorney in your area.
