It doesn't matter if the obligor the parent paying support signs up for insurance -- the child is still allowed to get insurance through the employer. Employers give information to employees about the costs and benefits of the various policies that may be available.
Obligors will sometimes lie to custodial parents about coverage possibilities either to save money or to assert control over the situation. Specifically, the law says:.
The obligor's employer or labor union or trade union shall disclose to the obligee or Public Office, upon request, information concerning any dependent coverage plans which would be made available to a new employee or labor union member or trade union member. The employer or labor union or trade union shall disclose such information whether or not a court order for medical support has been entered.

A party who is ordered to provide health insurance for a child, but fails to do so, may be liable to the receiving parent for the unpaid premiums and the medical expenses incurred by the child that otherwise would have been covered by the insurance. Because the premium payments are considered to be a kind of child support, if the payments are not paid to the insurance carrier, the court may later order them paid to the custodial parent and the additional payments will not be viewed as a windfall.

Almost all of those expenses are split by the two parents. The Allocation of Parenting Time and Parenting Responsibilities should also include a schedule for how each parent should ask the other parent for reimbursement of any expenses they covered.
For example, one parent can send the other parent a receipt within 30 days of the expense and then the other parent has another 30 days to pay the one parent back. If there is no schedule, a parent can simply provide the other parent with 18 years of receipts and create an impossible reimbursement situation. There are two massive expenses that get divided between the parties, daycare and college expenses.
Daycare expenses are staggering for young parents and they cannot be avoided.
