Under federal law, the answer is "No." An employer with 20 or more employees that has a group health plan must offer the employee the opportunity to participate in the plan, at the employee's cost, but the employer has no obligation under federal law to continue employee health insurance at the employer's cost.
I am not licensed to practice in Florida and do not know Florida law. It is possible that Florida could have a law concerning health care coverage continuation, if federal law does not preempt it. Nonetheless, to be sure, check with a Florida employment lawyer.
