A husband is not legally responsible to have health insurance
for his wife. Many employees opt not to have health insurance for
themselves. Health insurance is a voluntary election and no law
exists making it otherwise.
However, do be aware that any medical-related debts incurred by
one spouse are considered "common" debts, and as such, the other
spouse is legally required to pay for them. In the event of a
divorce, said debts would be even divided between the spouses, even
if only one spouse incurred them.

Good Luck. You will be asking your husbands insurance to pay for
the birth of a child that is not his. Talk to the insurance company
and also check with state law. Some states the law is that a child
born during a marriage is the child of the husband legally unless
challenged in court.
