Those who did write the rules were careful enough to completely exclude themselves from any adverse effects to their personal health or finances.
For the record, there is no rule that says UPS must drop spouses of employees from medical coverage. None of the other F500 companies will be FORCED to do this either They WILL because it will save them $,$$$,$$$'s while passing the benefit burden of healthcare costs elsewhere. Where elsewhere resides is irrelevant as their primary responsibility is to their shareholders, not you or your spouse. You are a number in the expense column on a balance sheet, nothing more, nothing less and your spouse is not even a footnote on that balance sheet.
