More details to this question:
My nephew has lived with me for one and a half years and his mom only has supervised visits and my brother's new wife and my nephew can't get along so he moved in with me. How can I get him added to my health insurance? He has no health insurance because he got kicked off the medical card and don't know why and I can't get my brother to see why he isn't covered anymore.

I think you will need to become his court-appointed guardian.

Before you can get medical insurance for this kid, he needs to be in your household legally. File for third party custody with the court. Once you have it, there will be no problem getting him on your insurance.

It would really be up to the insurance company, but you would have to have, at a minimum, legal guardianship of the child.

This is a little bit more complex than you think, basically a minor child is allowed to be added to either of its parents policies for medical insurance, unless there is an official guardianship or and adoption your policy would not allow you to add him. You would therefore have to purchase a policy for him individually which will be quite expensive. Obviously, the correct answers to speak with his parents about continuing coverage.
