The answer

If health insurance is forbidden, then it is not permissible to subscribe to it except out of dire necessity, such as inability to bear the costs of treatment. However, if the insurance is permissible, or if you are compelled to use it while it is forbidden, it is permissible to obtain a document proving that you are the breadwinner for your parents if you bear most of their expenses. Otherwise, it is not permissible to resort to deception to violate the terms of the contract.
