My employer took away my health benefits and all other benefits because I did not make my full-time hours two weeks in a row due to illness.

I did not make my full-time hours two weeks in a row. My manager then told me I would have to pay for my own benefits package and I informed her I could not afford that because I had no PTO and would not be getting paid for a full paycheck anyways. Once determined I cannot afford it, she marked me as a temporary employee and backdated that date to June 30, 2017 and took away all my benefits. We had our discussion on July 12. She made me feel as though I was in between a rock and a hard place.
