membership to the healthcare insurance plan is mandatory
Explanation:
Sugestão.

A frase original usa o artigo definido. Então, suponho que haja menção de um plano de saúde específico, não qualquer plano. Daí que minha sugestão é "the...". Se não houver menção a um plano específico, então, naturalmente, seria "a...".

Uma outra possibilidade seria reformular a frase e simplesmente dizer: "XX shall necessarily join/retain/purchase a/the/our health insurance plan."

Although I realize the irony of a company making it mandatory to "opt in" (making what Brazilians would call "livre e espontânea pressão"), this a term I frequently see for services offered by companies and that employees can, allegedly, choose whether to accept - and pay for - or not.
