I currently am on worker's compensation. Can my employer make me pay for my own health insurance while I'm off?

The employer generally has no obligation to maintain health coverage at its expense, although you probably have a right to COBRA it. Also, check the firm's long term and short term disability policies. Depending on what state you work in, your rights may be also different under some states' workers comp laws.
