Does the father have to provide insurance?

State laws, the federal mandate and the best interest of their children require parents to provide health insurance for their offspring. To do this in the most efficient and economical way, parents need to get as much information as they can about the law and the best plans available.

There is no bias in law, and groups of both mothers and fathers will at some point have felt let down.
