Can a parent withold medical insurance from their child?

I am a seventeen-year-old girl who was kicked out of my house when I was 16. I have been living alone since then and am now six months away from turning 18. I am not emancipated because of the lengthy process and cost of an attorney. I recently came under the need of medical attention, but my single-parent mother withheld the Medicare in my name from me. Is this legal? Is there any way I can obtain my medical insurance?Can a parent withold medical insurance from their child?
Yes it is legal since you do not live under her roof. At 17 you don't really need to be emancipated especially since you are so close to becoming 18 which is adulthood. I suggest you try to get Medicaid, because your mother no longer HAS to be financially responsible for you.
