Yes you should you naughty naughty boy!
Assuming his mother's immigration status was such that she was liable for costs that is.
My personal view is if you're working here and contributing to the state, then the state should have a duty of care to you.
IE you pay tax and NI, then you should get access to what those contributions are for such as JSA and healthcare.
Seems from Charlies link that once you are here for a year Healthcare is covered. The no recourse to public funds focusses on cash based payments. I'm not sure what happened to the recourse to public funds stamp when she went from a red one year visa to a green permanent leave to remain visa. I think at that point it goes away.
