Should my boss provide me health insurance?

I'm an hourly, full-time administrative assistant for a company with 11 other employees, all men. I work more than most of them do– I work overtime almost each night and NEVER get paid for it.
At my interview, I asked about health insurance. My soon-to-be-boss said, “Oh yeah, we'll get you covered”. Well, it's been over a year and I'm the only employee who doesn't have health insurance. I've mentioned it, but he changes the subject. I don't want to lose my job by pushing it, but it seems unfair that I'm the only female and he happens to not want to cover me. Are there any legal implications for something like this?

Answer:
Legal implications ? I would say NO unless something was signed. I think if it's been more than a year and your a valuable employee you should ask to schedule a meeting with him, one on one. At that meeting I would tell him that when you came to work for him, you asked about health insurance and he said what he stated. Remind him how long you've been there and ask him when that option will becoming available. I would base my final decision on that, most companies require a 6 mon. waiting period.
