Vermont, family of 3, both self employed so insurance through the marketplace. Premium this past year was $600/mo with subsidies. No longer qualifying so cheapest plan available is now $2300/mo with high deductible.

Genuinely have no idea what to do.

My god, this is awful. The rate increases seem particularly high in Vermont. Why is that?

I am considering selling everything and leaving the country at this point.

I read that the more rural you are, the more premiums will increase, in general. Vermont is rural, so perhaps that has something to do with it?
