More details to this question:
I am active duty and facing divorce. We have two children. My wife has taken the children to Nevada. Is the fact that I provide health care going to help lower the cost of child support?

Short answer: yes, but probably not like what you are actually asking. Normally, presuming Nevada has jurisdiction to determine issues of custody and support (you do not give enough details of the timing and history to tell for sure), then medical costs are in addition to statutory chid support; you should get a credit for the cost of insurance provided.
