The answer you need cannot be given from the facts supplied. If the health insurance offer is provable then you can get this, however, if the job is an "at will" position you may lose in the end.

My best response is take what you have and pay for a consultation with an employment lawyer to see what you have. You can select one near you at: www.oelasmart.net/directory
