Ensuring Child Health Coverage Compensation in Divorce Act of 2022

Bill 117 HR 7922, also known as the Ensuring Child Health Coverage Compensation in Divorce Act of 2022, aims to address the issue of child health coverage in cases of divorce. The bill seeks to ensure that children of divorced parents have access to adequate health insurance coverage by requiring that both parents contribute to the cost of coverage.

Under the provisions of the bill, both parents would be required to maintain health insurance coverage for their children, either through their employer-sponsored plans or through the purchase of individual plans. If one parent is unable to provide coverage, the other parent would be responsible for ensuring that the child is covered.

The bill also includes provisions for the equitable division of the cost of health insurance coverage between the parents, taking into account their respective incomes and financial resources. This is intended to prevent one parent from bearing the full burden of providing health insurance for their children. Overall, the Ensuring Child Health Coverage Compensation in Divorce Act of 2022 seeks to prioritize the health and well-being of children in cases of divorce by ensuring that they have access to necessary health insurance coverage.
