If you aren't listed on their insurance as a dependent or beneficiary then yes it is illegal. That is insurance fraud. If they agree to pay whatever medical expenses out of their own funds and there is no insurance involved then it's Ok. But they had better sign something with the medical facility first or it's all yours.
