Yes, employers can pretty much do whatever they choice as far as how much benefits that they provide. With the cost of everything going up, employers are considering cost, and they are making employees pay for some of the cost of their medical benefits. Many, many, companies are following the same trend. With a lot of people out of work, you have to consider the fact that you are employed, and go ahead a pay the cost of the medical. You can always decide to look for another job, but you won't find too many companies that provide medical 100%.

HELLO PROBABLY WITH PROPER NOTIFICATION BUT WHAT THEY CAN'T DO IS INSIST YOU HAVE IT, WERE YOU NOTIFIED ABOUT THEIR INTENTIONS AND GIVEN AN OPTION TO OPT OUT IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR IT. CHECK WITH LOCAL CITIZENS ADVICE

Yes, they can, as long as the same rules apply to all employees.

Yes. They are not required to pay ANY benefits coverage for you at all, or even provide you access.

Yes, employers are not required to pay any or all of an employee's health insurance benefits. However, you may have a case against the employer if you have some form of written documentation (such as an employment contract) where the employer states that they will provide health insurance benefits for you for a certain period of time. Either way, individual health insurance is much cheaper than group health insurance so it can pay off to shop around. Be sure and compare quotes from reputable companies in order to find a good policy for a cheap price. Here is some more information on finding cheap health insurance:
