A quick internet search turned up this:
Average premiums and deductibles nationwide unsubsidized shoppers:
Premiums for individual coverage averaged $321 per month while premiums for family plans averaged $833 per month.
The average annual deductible for individual plans was $4,358 and the average deductible for family plans was $7,983.
That's a nationwide average. The same article said that a family of 4 averages $25,000 A year in costs
What difference does it make what the average American pays? What matters is what the average A320 pilot pays. If you want a snapshot of what other airlines provide, take a look at the 2017 United MEC contract comparison circulating around the Spirit subforum recently.
