No. Workers Comp responds to injuries on the job and unemployment responds when you become unemployed.

Can you get paid in 1099 and still receive workers comp?
First. My answers are for U.S. Employees ONLY. If you're a 1099 employee and you work in any setting, You are covered by Workman's Comp. If you work for a company and they pay you 1099, but you work for them, same place every day, etc, they MUST carry Workmans Comp insurance to cover you. Now there are a couple of exceptions. For instance you are, or work for ABC cleaning company. If you submit a bill or a bill is submitted on your behalf to garner payment, then it is the bill generators responsability to cover you with Workmans Comp Insurance. If the employer informes you he does and will not carry this type of insurace, and you agree and sign off and are compensated for said lack of coverage, then your "employer" need not carry Workmans Comp Insurance on you. If you want complete details of who and what coverages need to be carried go to Google.com and search Workmans Comp rules & regulations for YOUR STATE or Country, as all states/countries vary a small amount.

Not likely because they both cover the same issue and would be considered "double-dipping" or collecting twice for the same thing.
Does a driver who owns his dump truck have to buy workmans comp or allow the contractor to take it out of his pay?
Workman's Comp is for employees. If you are the owner and operator, you need standard health insurance. Health insurance won't pay for your lost wages, won't pay survivor benefits, and if you receive a serious injury, who will pay for your health insurance? Comp has lifetime medical benefits for injuries, and it doesn't depend on future premiums. A less expensive option is Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability - they aren't the same as Comp, but they can meet your needs. Talk to your independent insurance agent and your (General) Contractor. Also, many states are "ladder states," meaning liability goes up the ladder until someone can pay, so your (General) Contractor is probably right in requiring you to either have Comp or take it out of your pay so he can carry it for you. Some states REQUIRE him to do this.
If you settle your medical part of workmans comp claim can you still get medicaid or medicare to pay for future medical bills for same injury?
Only if you have Medicare or Medicaid normally. If you were declared disabled, they will pay the bills.
You got hurt on a job 13 years ago and herniated your disk and received workmans comp for it Now you herniated the same disk at a different job can you collect workmans comp on it?
Hi~ It is my very recent personal experience that you will not be successful in receiving benefits for your new injury. They will jump on the opinion that this is a pre-existing condition. But STILL file your claim as quickly as possible! (Hopefully you either had witnesses to the injury or it occured just days or hours ago....)

can your employer fire you while you`re om workman comp and refuse to grant you your workman comp pay or your unemployement pay if you`ve worked for the company almost for two years ?
You need to contact the South Dakota Dept. of Labor. If you are injured on the job you must have filed the papers required for workman's comp and you must have a doctor certify. If you have done that, and your claim is legitimate, your company will not be able to stop you from getting paid. The same goes for unemployment insurance. Only your Dept. of Labor can determine if you were unjustly fired. It does not cost anything to go to the Dept. of Labor to ask questions.
Can you sue the Workers Comp Insurance for not authorizing the surgery the Doctor recommended?
Sure hope so. I am in the same boat
