The easiest way would be for the parents to sign a power of attorney for a minor that allows you to make medical decisions for this child.

You can't unless you have legal authority to have the child.

As far as I know, the only way for you to do that is to become his guardian or to get CPS involved and become the foster parent.

I would have to examine both your personal insurance policies to determine the qualifications necessary to be met to place the child within the coverage spear. Once I understood that, it would be possible to potentially take the legal actions required to meet the qualifications. Generally insurance companies do not cover unrelated children.
