Healthcare System Flailing for Family of Five

"Hello, speaking from a family of 5 that both parents work and make about 52,000 a year and just get by paying their bills, we do not have health insurance, we make to much for Medicaid and to much for family health plus our jobs offer insurance but we can not afford it, with our mortgage and electric bill, I feel we need to up the income guidelines for Family Health plus so that middle class if there is such a thing anymore, can have heath insurance. My children have gone without dental and going for check ups due to no insurance. Thank you."
