employer, including measures that

establish a noncustodial parent’s

responsibility to share the cost of

premiums, co-payments, deductibles, or

payments for services not covered under

a child’s existing health coverage; (5)

recommendations on whether

reasonable cost should remain a

consideration under section 452(f) of the

Social Security Act ; and (6) appropriate

measures for eliminating any other

impediments to the effective

enforcement of medical support orders

that the MCSWG deems necessary.
