Depends.  You need to speak to a labor law attorney in your state.  Here is why:

1. I don't know what your husband does -- in job 1 or job 2.

2. Sounds like other issues come into play here, aside from job loss -- i.e., health insurance loss.

3. Did he burn a bridge with his former employer? Did the former employer already find a replacement? Can he ask for his job back?

4. Was he under a contract under Job 1 or Job 2?  A1C test is a diabetes test? Why are they having an issue with this? Would he not be able to do his job? Employment is "at-will" in Pennsylvania.

5. Sounds like there are possible discrimination issues here.  So, you need a law law/employment law attorney to help you ASAP.  Try www.attorneypages.com.
