No they are not. However, there are initiatives in several states that would compel employers to provide coverage or face fines/penalties, like Mass. Several others are in the process of writing similar laws, like Calif.
Check with your State's Department of Labor or Department of Insurance

Your employer is not required to provide you with health insurance at this time Health reform law will not require that your employers provide you with health insurance if they have fewer than 50 full-time employees (or the equivalent of that in part-time employees), though there are some special tax incentives in place now for small businesses that provide health insurance to their workers. As of 2014, most Americans in your position will be required to purchase health insurance on their own, though low-income earners will get financial assistance from the government. My advice, however, is not to wait around until then. It’s risky to go uninsured. If you haven’t yet, contact a licensed agent in your area or online to find out what’s available in your state. Purchasing health insurance on your own isn’t always unaffordable (though it will depend a bit on where you live). A licensed agent can help you find the best match for your needs and budget, at no extra cost.
