Each state establishes it's own criteria for determining how to charge businesses for their worker's unemployment benefits. Generally, rates go down when the firm's turnover rate is low (few employees leave and apply for benefits); the status of some employees change in the business, reducing the base of payroll; the overall unemployment for the business' area reduces, etc.

Are you required to pay for health insurance while on short term disability?

That depends upon whether you are covered under FMLA, and the percentage of premium paid by your employer. If you are covered under FMLA, then your employer is required to continue coverage on the same basis as before your leave. For example if your employer was paying half the premium and you were paying half the premium, this arrangement would continue while you are on leave. You would be responsible for continuing these payments. If your employer pays 100% of the premium you would have no payments to make. If you are not covered under FMLA your employer is free to ask you to pay 100% of the premium.
