• ⚠️ A single person in Brattleboro earning $29,000 could face an increase from $5 to $112 per month.
• 🚀 In Burlington, a 30-year-old making $31,000 might see premiums more than triple, from $600 to $2,000 annually.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A family of four in Stowe earning $99,000 could experience an annual premium increase of $3,700.

Life-Threatening Consequences

• 💔 Heart-wrenching accounts from Vermonters reveal fears of dying without current healthcare coverage due to serious illnesses.
