Data on insurance premiums by state

The Kaiser Family Foundation (see here) has a new report on the cost of health insurance premiums in the individual market by state (see graph below, click to enlarge).  Thanks to the blog Prescriptions (see here) for calling our attention to this.  Note the data is "Average Monthly Premium Revenues Per Member Per Month."

The report states that:

Nationwide, the average monthly premium per person in the individual market in 2010 was
$215, but the state-by-state range was substantial. Vermont and Massachusetts both had
average per member per month premiums over $400 per month. The average premium
revenues in Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey were also relatively high, ranging from about $344 to $364 per month. Alabama ($136), California1 ($157), Arkansas ($163), Idaho ($167), and Delaware ($169) had the lowest average monthly premiums in the country.
