Disney employees in the US are set to lose a key health benefit next year under a new policy targeting spouses with access to insurance through their own jobs. The entertainment giant will no longer offer medical insurance to the spouses of US employees if those spouses can obtain health cover through their own employers.
The change does not apply to dental or vision benefits for spouses. Other dependants will also remain unaffected. Disney said it was making measured adjustments to employee benefits as healthcare costs rise nationwide. The decision could affect thousands of families across one of America's largest employers, Business Insider reported, citing a Disney spokesperson. Disney had about 172,000 US employees as of September 2025.
