Yes the employer can pay the health insurance but is not required to by law. He is encouraged to for bettering the employees benefits.
No, you are not owed any money for skipping the employer's health plan. Some employers do this, but others do not. The employer is not required to pay you the cost of the health insurance, if you do not take it.
An employer can choose not to pay for health insurance for any employees but can not discriminate by paying for some employees in a qualified class and not others.
A private health insurance plan is one that you pay for yourself and covers you and your family. It is possible to have health insurance through your employer and private insurance at the same time.

Yes, they can. Under federal law, an employer can require you to pay for the mandatory drug test. As long as having the employee pay does not have the effect of discouraging minority job applicants or lowering the employee's wage below the federal minimum, the employer can charge you for the test. Billing your health insurance is a form of billing you, even if your health insurance is from your employer.

A prospective employer may be interested in your health because many employers pay a portion of their employees' health insurance. Health insurance premiums may be higher if you are in poor health or a regular smoker. However, a potential employer is not legally allowed to ask questions about health during an interview.
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.
The reforms that President Obama is pushing for would not effect employers who currently offer health care. Although there is talk of implementing a minimum percentage requirement for employers to pay, the only way an employer would be affected now would be if they do not currently offer health insurance they would need to either pay a fine, contribute to their employer's health care insurance or offer an health insurance plan. That said, the reforms are aimed at controlling costs so in the long run, employers would pay considerably less.
It depends on where you are as to how you get your insurance. In the United States, your employer ether has health insurance available or does not have health insurance available. Some musicians work for an employer who provide health insurance. Many do not provide it.
