Insurance for college aged son question

[Sweetcheeksss 91]

My US born husband is active duty military. My son is currently enrolled in full time college in WA State. Up until he turned 21, he was covered under my husband's military insurance. My son isn't anymore but is required by law to have health insurance. He has little to no income and cannot afford to pay $300 per month for insurance.

It's my understanding that my son cannot apply for the DSHS Apple care insurance because it is considered "means tested benefits". And of course, the last thing I want is for any issues to arise in regards to the I-864 my husband signed. We have our 10 year green card.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what he could do? I am totally out of ideas....

Thank you in advance.

P.S. I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, so please feel free to move it.

As long as your son is a full time student and under 23, he can be covered under your husbands insurance as long as your husband provides 50% of his finance. If not I believe you can also get the Tricare until 26 years of age if you pay a premium. Look under Tricare coverage for active duty military.
