I have my wife and kid under Masshealth insurance plan since last yea. The coverage is good for my kid but it covers only emergency forme and my wife. I have student health insurance plan too from my University. This covers only for me. My wife and kid are in F2 status and I am in F1. I don't think there will be barrier for H1 to get this facility. But your income really matters. They have some ceiling for the income level. If you fall under the eligible category by income, your family may get this insurance.
