You know that many workers don't have health benefits through their employers, and you understand that they don't have to give them. But you notice that your employer is giving health benefits to some favored employees, and not making any similar offers to you. You and your family can't go to the doctor's office because you can't afford to. You feel that this is unfair, and you may be right. Discrimination in health insurance or health benefits is illegal under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and it is illegal in New York State and New York City for your employer to unfairly give health insurance or health benefits to some employees and not to others.
