ETA: That has happened to my aunt before. My uncle is the sole provider for the family (2 adults and 3 kids, one being disabled), and he works for Denny's. My aunt tried to go back to work---for Walmart, and she was told that they couldn't be on the health care plan anymore because now they made too much money. So she stopped working so that the kids could stay on Medicaid/Medicare (whichever one is for the kids). Disability also is reduced for her youngest (who's legally deaf) when my uncle gets a higher paycheck than he should (like if he works overtime).

If your uncle works full time for Denny's, can't they be covered on your uncle's plan which wouldn't be tied to family income?
