Absolutely - but let the child's Medicaid caseworker know so that providers will bill the private insurance first.
NO!
Information on good child health insurance can be found at two of the most popular insurance providers: Medicare and Medicaid. Both offer full health coverage for children as well as answer any questions about such coverage.

Yes - private insurance is not a bar to Medicaid eligibility - but tell your Medicaid caseworker so that the private insurance is billed first.
In most cases, you would file for the child separately. They are most likely eligible for Medicaid or state programs like Healthy Kids.
Most likely not. I sure hope not.

No, you file for his social security. Also, if you have limited income/assets, you might qualify for TANF or Medicaid, or the Children's Health Insurance Program.
If you adopted your niece and had legal responsibility for her, then you could cover her as a dependent on your plan. You could buy a health insurance plan for her, though child-only plans are relatively rare. If her parents cannot afford health insurance, you could help them find out whether your niece qualifies for Medicaid. Medicaid covers children in low-income families. See related link for more information.
The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is available in multiple states in the U.S. What this program provides is child coverage for parents whose income meets a standard of modesty above that of Medicaid.
Your parents are obligated to pay for your health care until you are emancipated and you should be on their health insurance if they have one. Since you live at home, I assume, medicaid would look at the income for the entire household and you would probably make too much. If not your parents would have to apply since you are a minor. After the baby is born you can get help for the child unless you have a separate health insurance for her then.
Do you have a child that is going away to college or is currently a student at a university? If so, your child may no longer be covered under your health insurance policy. Check with your provider when your child turns 18 to see if your child is still covered under your health insurance plan, as many health care providers consider the age of 18 as an adult. If you need to purchase health care coverage for your child, ask the college if they offer student health insurance. Most colleges offer insurance to students at a very reasonable rate.
