Not very likely. Family Court Act Section 413 states that parents are responsible to support children under the age of 21. Perhaps you can ask him to help out. Another option is to get health insurance. I believe NY has "Family Health Plus" which has a premium on a sliding scale basis. Contact your local State legislator for information.
