Can a court decree regarding who pays the insurance for our daughter be modified?
In my divorce decree it states that my ex will provide the insurance for our daughter and I will pay him half. I have another child now and I would like to cover both children on my insurance since it will not cost extra. I have told him he will not have to pay for any portion of the insurance and we will still split medical bills. If he refuses to agree to this, can I have our decree modified?

You can seek a modifcation, however, before you decide to file, consider the cost effectiveness of filing a suit. Visit with a family law attorney in your area-- and see how much a simple modification will run. If the cost of the modification will be about the same as or more as the savings, then you may not want to bother with the filing of another suit-- because it means re-enagement with your ex- in court. However, if the cost will be less than the savings, then that's when you should proceed forward.
