Employer offered health insurance question

CT, USA. My employer recently changed the health insurance offered through them. The issue is that this insurance does not cover any providers in (at least) the county in which my job is located. There is one main hospital in this county and many specialists, PT/OT, imaging, labs, etc are done through the outpatient facilities under that hospitals system. Most of the employees use this hospital system and their outpatient facilities to receive care. None of them are covered under this new insurance. Is it legal for an employer to offer insurance that doesn’t allow most of its employees access to healthcare locally? I could see having to maybe change a specialist or something but to have NO providers covered in a whole county/hospital system is just insane.

Many of us have looked into buying our own insurance but it’s $300-600 a month for most of us, so for many there isn’t really another option.

Just wondering if there is any recourse or a governing body to bring this to. Just doesn’t seem right.
