How long does a child stay on health insurance?

A friend of mine if technically considered a independent in Texas but here is the story: her mother got pregnant by her cousin they did DNA testing the whole 9 yards there is a .05% chance he isn't the father. Her biological mother lost coustity of her and her father got full coustity but the biological mother pays child support. Around 12 she was bitten by a brown recluse and wasn't treated for 3 weeks because her stepmother hates her because she is proof her husband slept with another women, they where not married at the time, she ended up being treated because she passed out in school and the nurse found the bite already destroying her knee. After they sent her to the hospital her step mother told her family the doctors said no visitors however it was later discovered she was trying to force her away from all people so she would be "trained" when the doctor finally got curious and called her aunts and asked why they didn't show up it was all revealed. The stepmothers father ended up taking my friend they didn't call the police because they didn't want it worse for my friend. She turned 18 December and hasn't graduated high school yet and her biological mother lost her job and can't pay child support. So her step mother said she didn't have to pay health insurance and already dropped her off her insurance. Is that legal?How long does a child stay on health insurance?It's not illegal (as of yet!) to not provide health insurance for your child even when under 18, although it's irresponsible. It is no where near illegal to NOT provide health insurance for an ADULT 18+. She's 18. She needs to find a job that offers benefits like the rest of us. Sometimes even part time jobs offer some.How long does a child stay on health insurance?
The only part of your very long paragraph that actually matters are that "she turned 18" and that it is the stepmother's health insurance. The entire rest of the story is irrelevant. No one is required to pay for health insurance for anyone who has turned 18.



A child cannot be kept on the health insurance of another person without that person's consent.



A child stays on health insurance until age 26 or when the person whose health insurance is covering the child decides to drop the child, whichever comes first.How long does a child stay on health insurance?~~Yes it is legal. A parent can keep them insured but it is their prerogative. That poor kid.~~How long does a child stay on health insurance?
Stephen is correct. She is 18 and the biological mother is no longer required to pay child support (employed or otherwise) nor is the step mother required to provide insurance.How long does a child stay on health insurance?Yeah, it's legal.How long does a child stay on health insurance?
Yes, her step mother is not required to cover the child with health insurance.

Why would the step mother who has no physical relationship with the child, ever be required to cover the child's insurance?



The rest of the story doesn't add up - the girl in the hospital and the doctor calls non-custodial relatives... it would never happen.
huh? Sounds more like a Springer show...what are you asking?
