Yes, you can, unless he files for divorce and in the divorce case, gets a court order requiring you to keep him on your insurance to maintain the "status quo" pending the resolution of the divorce. Otherwise, in the absence of a court order, a spouse is not required to provide health insurance for his or her spouse.
