Here in the States, potential employers are not allowed to ask how the former employment was terminated. They can only seek character references. No law prohibits employers from giving thorough info on former employees to anyone who inquires. Former employees have zero expectation of privacy regarding their work record, attendance, attitude, skill, or disciplines. EMployers who express no falsehoods about a former employee have zero liability for defamation.

A prospective employer can ask ANYTHING. It must not consider race, sex, religion, age, or disability if it has more than 14 employees.
No, there is currently no mandate that you have to offer health care to your employees. However, there are some stipulations as well as some valuable information on this topic at http://www.upmchealthplan.com/employers/healthcarereform_faqs.html
Obama's health care plan does not require employers to extend health insurance benefits to part-time employees.
Effective employers don't share information with employees.
Most large employers do but most small employers with only a few employees do not.
Most employers will provide that information (and pretty much only that information) about former employees.
Both. Employers and employees contribute an equal percentage of the employee's income to Social Security.
