If an employer offers health insurance benefits, can the employer make the employee pay for their dependants?

an employer offers health insurance but for me to add my children to the coverage, they will not pay for any part of the additional premium for the children(dependents). is this normal, or is it now a law for the employer to offer discounted family coverage?

An employer can offer whatever they like. While it is typical for an employer to pay part of the costs for an employee's health coverage, there is no requirement for them to do so for that employee's dependants.
