Can I take my previous employer to small claims court for reimbursment of my health insurance that they never cancelled?

Under the laws of this coutnry you have the right to take someone to court to address a grievance like the one you have against your former employer. Whether you prevail at court remains to be seen.
If you can prove at trial that you asked for the cancellation of your insurance policy from your employer and it was not cancelled where you incurred coverage and paid premiums for the policy, possibly you may prevail in small claims court.
