How does it work when both spouses have health insurance?

Is it worth it to have two people w/health insurance? What are the benefits? How does it work when you go to the doctor, who covers it? Thx for any info.
--------------------
Usually (in most states) the law reads the person who is BORN first in the year (as in MONTH/DAY) covers the family. you can keep the policies seperate if you want but when you have kids, it will follow whoever was born first So if one of you is Jan and one is Feb (Jan covers the kids at least...should you decide to keep yours). Now - if you dont like the Jan policy - cancle it - that way the person with Feb can cover the whole family. Some policies allow you to have a primary and a secondairy policy.. but SOME will not - so before you assume - be sure they will allow it this way. If they do - you can run the charges through one, then the co-pays, out of pockets etc throught the second. Hope this helps!!!! If you have any more questions - feel free to contact me!
