when having a job as a pharmacy clerk are you covered by health insurance?

I'm looking to get a job as a pharmacy clerk and I was wondering if the job as a pharmacy clerk covers employee's health insurance.
--------------------
Employee health insurance is something covered/ determined by whoever you work for and their terms. The large chains (CVS, Walgreens and grocers with pharmacies) all have employee health insurance but they have rules on who qualifies ( FT-40hrs/wk, PT employees who work a specified number of hrs per week), a small independent store may not have any benefits at all. The level of coverage also differs; employees in hospital pharmacies have better benefits than those in retail stores. Like any other job, the benefits are determined by the employer so you can't choose a profession based on whether or not you will be covered by an employer's policy. Always ask when negotiating salary being able to get covered by a good employer's plan is better than making another $1 or $2 per hour especially if they pay for part of it.
