Default US health care policy monthly premiums

Below is an article that states that there will be substantial increases in medical insurance premiums in the US in the near future, but it does not go into what an individual and a family would typically pay for health insurance at present.

Obamacare Sticker Shock: Average 2017 Premium Surges 24% | Zero Hedge

When I lived in New Hampshire back in the 1880s, although I had a health plan through my company, a shall we say "hormone-challenged" female friend of mine was quoted approximately $350 per month by a private health insurance company for a policy that would pay for medications and hospitalization and which also had a very low deductible.

I'm very curious what people in the US now pay for health insurance, so I have two questions.

1. What do you who are individuals, and what do you who have families, pay for a plan with a low deductible, and in which state do you live?

2. If you have health insurance from your employer, what does your employer claim is the effective monthly premium that your employer has to pay on you behalf?

Thanks from a curious outsider.
