I know a lot of work places charge $125-225 for a single person. Health insurance is a big factor in your paycheck deductions. I think it would be a good idea to list your employer, paycheck deduction per month, and if that's single or family. You can add your deductible too, but I'm sure most young regional pilots choose the higher one with lower costs.
Most of the employer provided insurance at the airlines is way better than the bronze plan. The younger FO may want to get away from a bronze. You never know what could happen.
