The only benefit to having Child Only Health Insurance is that the child is insured. According to studies, children with child only health insurance were more likely to have had routine dental and health examinations in the past 2 years over those without insurance. The rates for children that had insured parents were even higher, suggesting that children that have an insured parent are more likely to have access to all the healthcare that they need. The study also suggested that families with the child only health care, may not know how to use it properly therefore, they don't use it enough.

Can a father paying child support be forced to supply health insurance for the child?

If you are capable of providing health insurance for your child and the other parent can not for what ever reason then yes, you can be required to provide coverage. Child support is supposed to be support to cover the expenses for the child divided between the parents. Clearly the child needs a health insurance. The cost can be a part of the child support or be added. Both parents have a obligation to make sure the child can get care. Usually child support only covers a smaller part of what a child's expenses are, not 50/50. Each state has child support guidelines that take health insurance costs into consideration.

Can you just cover your child for medical insurance if you have had cancer?

Yes, you can purchase a child-only health insurance policy. Depending upon what state you live in, these may be available only during an annual open enrollment period. If you are part of an employer group health plan, you will generally have to enroll yourself as well as the child. The employer plan will cover your cancer-related care, after you have been on their plan for 12 months. Or it will cover it right away, if you have not had more than a 63-day gap in your health insurance.
