Hi there, I have a full-time job and PGWP while my wife has OWP. I plan to apply for her health card (OHIP), and the officer there told me that if my wife's name is not listed on my work permit, she couldn't get OHIP because I have a full-time job. I'm confused since the OHIP web page says it is qualified. Has anyone faced this situation? Thanks!

Your wife needs to apply for PR status or get her own work permit to be eligible. Being married to a PR but not having your own permit isn't enough.
