Can a child have a health insurance policy on their own?

Yes, a child can have a health insurance policy on their own, but this typically requires a parent or guardian to act as the policyholder. In many cases, children are covered under their parent's health insurance plan until they reach a certain age, often 26. However, some states allow minors to obtain their own policies, especially for specific coverage needs. It's important to check local regulations and insurance options available in your area.
