Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Termination on disability and cancellation of health insurance

I incurred a stroke from a chiropractic adjustment and ended up being admitted to hospital, then misdiagnosed by said hospital, and sent to primary dr. for referral. I worked as an inside sales base + commission for small electronics after-market company. My work was exemplary and had just been rehired 4 months prior after having left to work for competitor for a month. I was given all my existing accounts that I had opened and my HMO had just kicked in 3 weeks before my stroke on Jan 15 2008. Due to pathetic process of the HMO system and service provider, I was unable to get secondary neurologist confirmation and subsequent therapy: speech and cognitive functioning - problem solving, reason, and memory - until after 6 weeks. I am expected to have complete recovery, however, it will be 3-4 months before i can return to work. I am on state disability until June '08 per neurologist. I rec'vd certified letter i had been terminated due to ''undo hardship on the small company'' - not for incompetence or misdealings. My accounts are active and have pending sales orders and are the largest such clients the company has retained due to my work. Also, i just recv'd termination of health coverage effective April 1 2008. Do i have any rights?
