Family Courts Muddying the Health Care Quagmire in New York State | Fearless Fathers

Family Courts Muddying the Health Care Quagmire in New York State | Fearless Fathers: "With my employer, I have comprehensive health insurance that covers dental and vision expenses for the family. Accessorily I am complying with New York State law, which mandated via medical support order (New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules 5241) that I take health insurance for my children. But  ex-wife does not want to use my health insurance, threatens the health providers to take her business elsewhere if they bill me instead of her and fill insurance forms. Twice a year on average, she takes me to court for unreimbursed medical expenses that could be reimbursed by my insurance. So far, Manhattan family court’s ruling has taken latitude in its interpretation of  New York State law: I have to provide an insurance for my kids but ex-wife can use it only if she pleases. The outcome is the wildest dream come through for the Republicans and private health insurance companies: a mandate to have insurance and a legal denial of benefits. No “medical losses” in insurance companies terminology. 100 % profits."
