If I'm a contractor, is there a way that my client can cover me under their health insurance?

They cannot- an independent contractor is responsible for his own insurance, self-employment tax, workers compensation, unemployment insurance, and other benefits. These can be quite costly. Have you thought about asking them to hire you as a full-time employee in exchange for a lower wage (to compensate for their added expenses)?
