Is there no health insurance for only children?

Insurance for only children? There isn't any?

I recently (last couple of years) started making just a little too much for my kids to qualify for CHP+. They lost CHP+. Marketplace insurance when I put income in is over $600 a month for the 3 of us (father, two sons). The thing is, I can't find a single insurance plan for just the kids.

I'm on VA health care so I don't need it for myself but it seems there are no options for child only health insurance unless you make under a certain amount ($69100 in CO it seems) and can qualify for CHP+ or Medicaid.

Is there really no in between or way to get insurance for just the kids without spending an extra 8-10k a year? It's like getting that raise to finally maybe enter lower middle class is completely negated. I would actually be at an overall loss unless I started getting over six figures.

The affordable care act definitely doesn't seem affordable now that I actually have to navigate it. It kind of feels like being poor was actually better.

But to reiterate beyond my rant: Is there health insurance for only children?

Edit to add: 39M right around $80,000/yr in CO
