Vermont’s health care costs continue to soar, and state regulators haven’t done enough to curb them, according to Auditor Doug Hoffer. The average Vermonter now pays more than $9,000 a year for health care. That expense that skyrocketed 167% between 2000 and 2018, according to a report released by Hoffer’s office Tuesday. Housing and utility rates, by comparison, went up 104% over the same period.
