I'm curious about this... maybe someone can help me out here.
I provide health insurance coverage for my kids through my employer. I pay a monthly premium for insurance. My paying for the insurance was factored into the child support amount I pay. Like most non-custodial parents, the kids' mom and I split the deductible per child as well as anything after that.
My kids' mom, has elected to use Medicaid since she qualifies. Her using medicaid means that she doesn't have to pay anything. It also means I don't have to pay anything... except the cost of the premium of my employer's health insurance (which is rather significant).
I've tried researching medicaid to find out if she can legally use it for my kids if they already have health insurance that is provided by me through my employer. I have found nothing.
I don't mind paying for my kids' health insurance. However, I do mind paying a monthly premium that just isn't necessary if my kids' mom can use (abuse?) the system like she is. I don't agree with what she is doing simply because there are people out there who truly do need that kind of help.
Something tells me my kids' mom is bucking the system and she is doing it legally. But, it doesn't seem right.
Help?
