Anybody who wants to can be responsible financially.
If they don't want to, the fact that they're listed on the birth certificate is essentially meaningless. In many places, the mother can list whoever she wants as the father on the birth certificate; she's not required to actually prove it. Courts do not necessarily assume that it's correct, and particularly if the person listed can prove he's not the biological father, it would be a travesty of justice if they forced him to pay child support anyway.
No, no, no. A man's name can be on the birth certificate only if he signs an acknowledgment of paternity. This makes him the child's father until/unless a court rules otherwise.

Can you still receive child support from the alleged father if another person's name is on the birth certificate?
No, the father on the birth certificate is financially responsible unless proven that he's not the father by DNA. About 12 years ago in the state of NJ The court ordered me to pay child support to the biological father (Dna test showed I was not the biological father) The court called me the psychological father so in the courts opinion I was her father. And like the biological Mother he also drank it away.

It would seem logical that she would be responsible for her own medical bills. However, if your father is still married to her, he may have substantial responsibility for her medical bills. If your father has died but there are provisions in his will that call for portions of his estate to support her medical needs, or if there is insurance covering her, then others may have some responsibility.
