Legal Question in Family Law in California

Divorce and health insurance

Ok.. I am wanting to file for divorce however I am needing to have a surgery done and I have medical insurance through my husband. If I filed will I still be on his insurance or would I be removed from it immediately? A friend of mine said I would be on his insurance until our divorce is final. He also said I can ask to be continued on his insurance after the divorce is final as part of Spousal Support. I am confused. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
