Yes, the employer can take money from your paycheck to pay for your share of the health insurance cost. You should be told how much your share is. The vast majority of employers have what is called a "Section 125" or "cafeteria" plan, which allows them to take this money before taxes are charged. So, even though your share may be $50, your take-home pay may go down only $42.

Under health reform, your share of the cost cannot be more than 9.5% of your income if you earn less than 400% of Federal Poverty Limits. If it is higher than that, you can get a premium tax credit and buy coverage (presumably cheaper) on the insurance exchange.
