<prompt> Human: So is there anything I can do? I went with pretty much the cheapest option on the exchange in my state and this is where we are cost wise to show the absurdity of it all:Mortgage payment: 1500.00Healthcare premium for a BRONZE plan: 1700.00! an almost 7000 deductible.I have been on the exchange since it started, and I have watched rates balloon over and over.This just doesnt seem right. We make too much as self employed individuals to really reap the subsidies on the exchange, and yet this payment is an absolute albatross. Im thinking about taking a half-time position as a teacher mostly for the benefits.With both of us each owning our two companies of one, is there any better option than the exchange? This just feels really, really wrong and a HUGE barrier to someone opening their own business. :Any advice?  <response>: I have a friend who took a job at Starbucks for the health insurance benefit, not a bad idea Id say. He and his spouse are also self-employed.
