Question about health insurance coverage

Hello everyone,

Here's my situation:

I just got a new job, they are offering a 1500 a month stipend for health insurance that includes my wife.

My wife is on disability right now, she tore her ACL. We just got medical for her ( were in California ) and disability finally kicked in. When we applied for medical for her they suggested I do it too. We both qualified so I guess I have it too ( medical coverage)

My question is:

If I get insurance with my companies stipend, does that mean she has to also? Or can she stay on medical and I get insurance through the stipend from my employer. I make more money than their required 22k a year to have medical.

My wife has been given 6 months disability, pending her recovery. I want to get insurance ASAP because I'm having weird heart/chest pains, shoulder and neck/under throat and I want to get that looked at. If anyone knows who we can talk to or where we could go to get that information- that'd be great!

Thanks
