Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insurer could pursue the wife for unpaid premiums and cost sharing despite payment history involving the husband and child
Decisão extraída
Yes. The wife remained personally liable for the unpaid balance because spouses are jointly and severally liable for family maintenance-related health insurance premiums and cost sharing.
Fundamentação extraída
Premiums and cost sharing under compulsory health insurance are family needs; under solidarity the creditor may choose which co-debtor to pursue, and partial payment by the husband did not extinguish the remaining debt.
