When I was living in Seattle and self-employed, I was paying $155 / mo for Regence Blue Shield's best plan ($500 deductible & 80% coverage) [this was Jan 2007]
After a year, it increased $50. I left the insurance a few months ago, so no clue what will happen next year.
Before Regence, I was paying for COBRA, which was incredibly expensive ($430 / mo) -- this was because I was traveling abroad in places with weird diseases, and I didn't feel like taking a chance. I only did this for 6 months or so.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I am/was 28, healthy, non-smoker. No kids.
