Is an employer obligated to pay health insurance premiums when an employee goes on short term disability when they normally pay it if employee is not on short term disability?

The employer is obligated to follow its own written policy about employees out on short-term disability leave. The employer cannot, for example, pay for the president's health insurance when she is out on STD leave and then not pay for the entry-level clerk's health insurance when he is out on STD leave. If the employer does not have a written policy, then all employees who take a disability leave should be treated the same.

Rely on Yourself for Your Health?

No longer can an employee rely on a business to provide proper health benefits for his (her) needs, or those of his (her) family. Employees would do well to search out their own health plans, and if their employer offers one with their employment package, consider it a bonus. Gap insurance is the most important type of plan to consider when employed by a business with a health benefit. Every six months, an employee should check the benefits of the employer sponsored plan and change the gap insurance in order to fill in the holes left by the employer sponsored plan. The gap insurance would be best to be a PPO, as they provide much more freedom than do HMO plans.

In the Economic slowdown i lost my job my new employer does not provide group health insurance to its employees Any help as how you should buy health insurance privately?

Well, as you mentioned that your new employer does not offer you group health insurance, it seems you had the policy with your earlier employer. One option is that you can continue the same policy for 18 months through COBRA; or pick up some online platforms that will give you a fair idea of plans available to you. One of my friends faced the same trouble. He tried hCentive.com and quickly landed on a good plan.
